Letting them know you care..

This week in class and outside of class I learned that a big part of being a good leader is letting your followers know you care about them and whats going on in their lives.  In class we talked about how Dr. Snavely was not only  great boss but showed leadership through also geting to know the professors personally.  I remember I had a manager who also did that and I think hat is why I alway remember im as being a great superior and a good leader.
When you let a subordinate know you really care about them as a person you seem like more than a boss and connects you which will make the workplace more enjoyable for both.  I think it is a great value for a superior in the workplace to have.
