Did you know? 79% of employees quit their jobs due to 'lack of appreciation' from their managers.

This stat hit home recently when I reflected on my recent conversations with successful leaders. The secret? It's not just about OKRs and project updates.

It's about remembering the little things:
• Personal details (their birthday, spouse or children’s birthday, hobbies)
• Their weekend plans (know about their life outside of work)
• Their personal goals (like training for a marathon – support their personal goals as well as professional goals)

By showing genuine interest in their lives outside work, you transform a transactional relationship into a motivational partnership.

"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." - Theodore Roosevelt
