It starts with you.<\/p>\n<p>You set the tone in every nook and corner of the office. Are you wearing a frown? Your staff will too. Are you a fun person to be with? Are you real or wearing masks, fun, caring or humble? These qualities will make your staff feel at ease with you.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure your team is on the same page. Do you share the same goals, mission and vision statement? Are you building a corporate culture that sets the tone of who you are? Your culture reflects your values.<\/p>\n<p>What values do you hold dear as a company? Agree as a staff and commit to your core values.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure everyone has ownership of goals and targets, rather than just imposing the objectives from above.<\/p>\n<p>What do you do for fun as a staff? Activities can unite everyone and keep them at ease. Have a picnic or a retreat at a beach or mountainside. Some companies have executives serve breakfast to staff. Think about pursuits that will energize the staff and make them smile.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be serious all the time to achieve results at work.
