I've been reading a lot of Bob Proctor's insights lately.
His take on management is particularly relevant to small business:
"Management is the direction of people, not the direction of things."
A basic human quality is to want to feel like you're part of something bigger than yourself, as I wrote in The Small Business Success Guide.
What sort of manager are you?
Staff want to be connected. So why not create this kind of culture in your business, no matter how big or small it is. If yours is a microbusiness without staff, try to get contractors to feel like they're an important part of your business. They will if you let them.
Your challenge is to work out a way to make team spirit happen in your business: you're all on the bus together, so you may as well enjoy the journey.
All success!
