Emotional Investments
When we discuss investments, we typically refer to financial investments. When we invest as leaders, we invest more than financials. We also invest our time and effort. On top of that, we make emotional investments in our teams and our projects.
Help Your Team Maintain Focus
Nowadays it is very easy to be distracted. Individuals are always multitasking and struggle to stay focus. In a working environment, the same distractions applies. Your team are constantly bombarded with new information and distractions. It is your job as their leader to help your team maintain focus.
Consider Your Team’s Working Environment
Leaders are constantly looking for ways to improve productivity and efficiency for their teams. Consider your team’s working environment and how that effects their ability to be productive. Having a well thought out working environment versus a cluttered and poorly designed space makes a world of difference.

I wish I can just tell these leaders to shut up and spend more time listening. They will gain so much more from listening than they will from speaking.
