Leadership By Walking Around

Start the week by practicing "leadership by walking around." Visit all parts of you organization, including people in places where you rarely go. As the leader of your company, people enjoy seeing you. Note well: avoid being critical during your tour. Remind people that you appreciate them.

I personally do this all of the time and the value it brings to my leadership ability is great. People most times can not tell you the issues they have unless you find them in the day to day environment that exhibits them. You than can easily find the root cause of the problem easier and show your employees that you are concerned with their issues.
Resolution of their problems reinforces their commitment your vision, mission, business plan or program.
