Research has shown that having close friends at work leads to greater life satisfaction, yet many companies shy away from allowing this to happen for fear of team members becoming too close. Strong connections also enhance teamwork within organizations and help prevent silos or divides between departments. Anthony will talk about why connections matter among your team and how to intentionally foster them in a healthy way. He will also dive into the dynamics of building strong relationships with direct reports and how to balance friendship with holding team members accountable for the job at hand.
