Fortune covered an article from the Young Entrepreneur Council, where I’m a member, asking business leaders how they can engage with employees on a regular basis. I get one on one time by inviting employees on daily walks. It takes just 15 minutes to stroll through the neighborhood, gives us both some fresh air, and helps encourage a healthy habit at Due.com. It helps me connect on a deeper level, and after just one month you can manage 40 walks with up to 40 different people!
Modeling healthy behavior is a wise move for business owners, too. Another business owner interviewed said sometimes it’s as simple as saying “good morning.” Being polite, engaging, and actively listening sets the tone for the day. Nobody is too busy to say a simple greeting. For others, creating structure is key. No hierarchy ensures you always get the best ideas.
Rotating leaders on a regular basis keeps things fresh and helps managers connect with all employees instead of the same small circle. You can also schedule check-ins and prioritize them just like any other meeting.
