As a fan of Chester Elton and The Carrot Principle books, I'm excited to hear his feedback on this topic. As Chester expressed, it's important for managers to increase communication in difficult times. Managers should reserve time each week to meet with their employees and let them know that their extra efforts are appreciated. This will help build value for the employees, which will keep them engaged in their roles and boost morale for the organization as a whole. Build engagement today!
