Have you had days when you’ve wanted to shut yourself off on a deserted island, where you could happily work and eat coconuts and speak to no one? Hell yes! Good. It’s not just me then!
But truly great leaders understand that without a solid team, without developing and investing in your people, it’s going to get pretty tough to achieve anything. (Also, there’d be no office cakes... and that would be VERY sad!)
Managing people is one of the hardest parts of being a leader. But you know what the truly exceptional bosses say? It’s ALL about the people. They remember who was in the room on the bad days... and who was by their side to celebrate the exciting moments too.
So before you buy that one-way solo ticket, we have some tips from top leaders who know how to build a team culture.
