Should you be building a more connected team to secure the future of your business?
Your team is like the mortar with which your business is built. If the mortar is strong, then so is your business. If the mortar is loose and weak, then guess what? … your business will crumble.
In your business, your mortar is social capital – your team’s sense of connectedness – which builds trust among your team members, your clients and all your business stakeholders.
When you invest in building a more connected team and social capital of your team, you are securing the future profits and growth of your business.
For many business leaders, investment in their team is rarely at the top of the list of ‘things to do’.
It’s hard to make the time for building a productive work culture when you are busy running your business, especially with all the financial and economic challenges which you face and which make constant demands on your time.
But the foundation of your business is your people, and they deserve your time and attention.
