Partnering
The Bottom Line
Do you make your employees feel like valued partners? Do you
respect their input or go about making decisions without engag-
ing your own internal experts? When we respect people, we treat
them as equals and partners. In so doing, you will dramatically
increase their performance and productivity. There is another

capital, namely, by setting clear expectations and holding employ-
ees accountable for meeting those expectations, and it is the sub-
