Good to hear your voice. Sorry for the delayed response. Leaders are in serious denial about their avoidance (fear?) (and the resulting diminishment) of the people side of business. If one more person calls people the "soft" side of business I'm going to scream! Few things affect the bottom line as much as the level of engagement, creativity and energy your team can bring to the table. - Karl Bradley!

It seems ironic that managers forget that their employees are -- um - well- People? Yes, and what do people need and want? Love, respect, appreciation, acknowledgement. We are almost afraid to deal with that small fact, it seems. It's easier to say it's all about the money - avoids having to come face to face with the humanity and interaction required in a true human relationship.
