How do you get to know your employees?

It seems like a simple task, but getting to know your employees takes skill and follow-through. It is not enough to meet with your team, getting to know the individuals will help you determine what motivates them and how you should interact with them going forward.

How do you balance getting to know them on an individual level while maintaining the boundaries of boss/employee relationships?

Are you comfortable managing each employee differently based on what they need to be motivated and encouraged?

What different management tactics do you use within your own team?

Hello,
This is very critical subject because all we do agree with the fact there is team color need to be respected, but by the end of the day also there is job to be done and forecast need to be reached, Manager always need to be comfortable in managing each employee differently ; but there is some red line need to be identified based on company role and HR standard depend on job description.For me personally I used to use some tactics like giving bounce and use personal training as part of personal development as (win to win) polices.
Always remember win to win concept!
Best Regards
