    Why? Company culture determines who you will attract and retain, whether it is engaged, productive, effective team members or those employees who are just there for the paycheck. How? Engage these valuable (and expensive) employees by providing information to your team with open communication channels in order to unite everyone to work towards a common vision while adhering to clearly defined company values. While ongoing feedback and accountability is essential, do not overlook the value of a sincere and specific “Thank You”. It is free and fits every budget.

    Suck It Up, Buttercup. You might be part of the problem. Dominant, direct leaders who don't get emotional get the job done, right? Take charge and cut to the chase, right? Other people who allow their emotions to get in the way of business need to just "suck it up." Right? Wrong!
