We know that the #1 way to get peak productivity out of our people is for them to feel psychologically safe. One way to achieve this is by making sure they feel seen, heard and understood. They're not just numbers that make up our teams, but humans who help us grow our businesses and advocacies.

Pay attention to the little things, whether in person or on Zoom. These make the big things in identifying what's going on, particularly with your team members. It is crucial to notice details by being fully engaged in the conversation.

Look at the energy or how your people enter the workplace any day. Get a read and be perceptive and compassionate about what's going on. Have they come in a little bit flat or quiet? Do they try to avoid everyone? Are they not making eye contact?

Always "On" Culture. We know that as a team leader, as a boss, as a business owner, and even often as an employee – like everyone else, it's easy to get tangled up in responding to notifications and being busy. It creates a disconnect with the person we're talking to.

Multitasking can be disadvantageous to you. If all the tabs are open in your brain, it can drain your mental batteries and cognitive load. Be fully engaged when making conversations and get rid of the distractions to give those people the focus they need. And if you can't focus on the moment, be very clear that you will discuss concerns and questions immediately after so that your team will not feel neglected or just shrugged off.
