Niceness
Different employees work well in different conditions, but overall, we tend to work best with people we like and trust. That is why niceness in leadership is essential and sometimes undervalued.

Listening and caring
Show your respect and care for your staff by asking them about their personal or business-related problems. Listening can strengthen connections between you and your team members. Over time, genuine empathy can lead to an increase in respect towards you.
Embracing your true self
