Beyond listening, leaders that encourage employees to ask them the tough questions will quickly begin to build camaraderie and trust with their employees.
The best leaders listen to their employees because they want to learn about them and from them.
Leaders are not always their authentic selves; this is why many are challenged to develop and live their personal brand as a leader.
Employees respect a leader that projects strong executive presence.
Being nice, attentive and making good eye contact is what is expected to make a good first impression.
