If you want a smooth-running business or organization, it's pivotal your managers are empowered to do their jobs, including empowering their teams.

Employees who are empowered do their jobs, feel like they are part of the team and helping move your business forward. The opposite can be said for those who don't feel heard or appreciated.

My guest, Cary Kish, is a coach and serial entrepreneur based outside of Calgary, Canada. He shares his insights from building and growing his businesses and coaching others in their business journeys.

In this episode, Cary shares why he will always encourage leaders to invest in their teams. If you train up your team to grow in their careers and even leave your organizations, they will be more apt to talk highly to their friends or connections who could be future employees.

We both discuss from our experience the necessity as a manager to create an environment that provides opportunities for team members to bring up ideas to their managers. In a virtual work environment, it's vital to set aside that time to help ensure open communication lines.
