“…making rounds as often as possible to get to know your staff better really puts you in a better position to gain the support of your staff.”

Marc believes that one of the best ways a leader can engage employees is by simply getting to know them.

“…for every employee’s child ten and under for their birthday. I actually send them a birthday card and stick a $2 bill in it.”
