How often have you heard “people are our most important asset”?
I suggest often.
Let me pose a question to the C Suite – how many hours a week are in your diary to meet face to face with your people?
No matter what industry you are working in, we are all in the People Business. Regardless of how ‘technology proficient’ you are, face to face meetings are still the most effective way to capture the attention of people, engage them in a conversation, and drive productive collaboration across your business. It is simply a way of demonstrating that you understand their work is worthwhile and their contribution to business outcomes is no more or less important than the C Suite.
If you don’t nurture strong and positive personal relationships, you cannot build trust, understanding, or a sense of shared purpose – all of which are critical elements to the execution of transformation delivery.
