Effective management goes beyond task assignment; it involves motivating and supporting employees as individuals. According to career consultant Jonathan Javier, employees leave managers, not companies. A study showed that strong interpersonal skills improve employee performance. To become a better leader, prioritize listening, ensure clear communication, own mistakes, encourage calculated risks, and actively solicit feedback. This fosters trust, reduces turnover, and improves overall results. Strong leadership is linked to employee satisfaction and retention, while toxic leadership contributes to dissatisfaction and resignations.
