“As leaders we have a duty of care to our employees, to help them develop and achieve their personal goals. If we want to keep great talent, we must become servant leaders – which means we must listen to them and pro-actively help them grow.
There is nothing complicated about people management, after all we are all, just people. Once we understand what’s important for each other we can serve each other better.” Su Patel
