Humanizing Business: The Power of Authentic Connections | Angela Heise | Ep. 133

Inter:views | Cracking The Entrepreneur Bottleneck

As a business owner and leader, building trust and rapport within your organization is crucial for cultivating a thriving team in an ever-evolving business environment.

Building relationships goes beyond focusing solely on work and task-related effectiveness. It entails creating time and fostering connections with the people we work with, whether directly or indirectly.

Relationships contribute to a positive culture and a cohesive team. When faced with challenges or setbacks, strong relationships within your business prove invaluable, enabling swift and effective problem-solving.

On the other hand, lacking such relationships can significantly hinder navigating difficult situations. So instead of being judgmental, it is essential to approach our staff with curiosity, fostering a mindset of flexibility, emotional management, and collaboration.

Ultimately, the key to building a successful team is actively building meaningful relationships throughout the organization.

In this episode, we are joined by Angela Heise to talk more about building relationships and emotional intelligence as business owners. Angela is a leadership development expert, emotional productivity coach, and global village skill trainer.

● Progress is better than perfection, and as a leader, you need to recognize the difference between procrastinating, digesting, and integrating.

● You have the right to be frightened, frustrated, or angry, which is perfectly okay; we are all allowed to have these emotions; it is what we do with them that matters.

● Be curious, not judgemental, because this allows you to be flexible and manage your emotions when working with others.

● Building a team is about understanding who they are and building relationships.
