It is generally known that the human factor is an important element in the functioning of an organization; however, it can be very tricky in the case of relations between employees and managers. Some argue that high achievement is possible even without any great mutual affection between managers and their teams. But according to the Forbes website this happens roughly in 1 out of 2000 cases. Therefore, this online magazine offers 7 tips on how to ensure better relations with one's own employees:

1. Share positive emotions

Any feelings you show in the workplace others perceive intensely. As well as frustration or tiredness due to illness or anger, also positive emotions can be disseminated. Try to make sure the positive ones outnumber the negative.

2. Be fair

Can others rely on you? Do they trust you? Gain the sympathy of others thanks to your fair and reliable behaviour.

3. Do not be individualists

Your subordinates are not your rivals. Work together with them and discuss all tasks.

4. Give a helping hand

Be mentors, coaches and teachers who help employees find the right way to address challenges and problems, thus creating strong bonds of trust in your knowledge and competence.

5. Inspire others

The popularity of a leader is not based only on the pressure put on employees, but especially in the ability to pull his or her own team towards objectives and inspire it.

6. Focus on the future

Employees who have no idea about the current situation or desired goals very quickly become frustrated. Be a visionary, focus on the future and effectively motivate employees with ideas about further development.

7. Let evaluate yourself

Receiving employees’ feedback helps you better to orientate among the sympathy and antipathy ascribed to your person. Where appropriate, take measures to change.
