Building strong, positive relationships with your employees is like exercising to get in shape. Think of building good relationships as a habit - for example, going to the gym. If you’re trying to reach a specific health or body goal, you’ll probably see results after two, three or four months; not after your first week (as much as most of us would love that). Similarly, if you want to build great relationships with your employees, foster a culture of ongoing feedback and ensure there’s open communication amongst your team, you’ll have to develop the habit of meeting regularly with your fellow teammates.
