Taking an active role in the development of your team demonstrates confidence and concern for the future of the organization. It also gives employees feelings of significance, community, and value. When you create a culture in which employees can reach their goals and know their thoughts and insights are appreciated, you boost productivity, morale, and engagement.

One of the clear statements about micromanagement is that micromanagers control outcomes and not people. It might be valid to some extent, but we believe in looking at things from different perspectives. The common belief is that the word has a negative connotation. And why not? It is frustrating and demotivating. As if dealing with a tough job wasn't enough, you now have to deal with a nagging boss.

Believe it or not, professional experiences hold a powerful weight with the impact they have on our lives. If people aren’t engaged in their roles , have an opportunity to collaborate with others, or don’t feel excited to come to work, this can diminish the potential for an overall positive experience. When employees are spending 40+ hours a week in a place they feel trapped, they aren’t showing up each day as the best version of themselves (and before long, they may not show up at all).

Equality is not Pie. Equal rights for others doesn’t mean fewer rights for you. Imagine going to a beautiful store but you’re not allowed to enter because you have blue hair. You won’t like it, would you? Equality is a necessity that every individual must enjoy. Being treated unfavourably every day owing to who they are, where they’re from, or what they look like is unfair and shouldn’t exist at all.

An impossible task, indeed. But did you know that Elton John doesn’t write those famous lyrics (and that Daniel isn’t Elton’s brother?). For more than half a century, the legendary singer has relied on poet and lyricist, Bernie Taupin to write his words.
