Here’re the few things I’ve learned over the years about having a profound relationship with my team members.
- Show genuine interest in why, what and how part of their work.
- Attend them like attending your child. It will make them fill contented.
- Do something everyday to make them feel relaxed.
- Often go for team-lunches.
- Show them that you trust them and believe in their abilities.
- Praise them with all your heart when they do something well.
- Just not show selective honesty but be truly honest with them in everything.
- Read between the lines. Team members have a way of telling you something without directly telling you.
- Always say please and thanks when communicating with them.
- Encourage them to voice their opinion on the big project decisions.
- Tell them stories of how you have reached to your current position. Team members would love to hear that.
- Give them enough space and respect their solitude.

Great List. Lot of these lessons also concur with what I have learned while managing people.
Loved #6. I am a staunch believer in building a culture of praise. Praise is a great validation you offer for skills people being to work.
Have a great weekend.
