20 mins

Key Takeaways

  • People-first management is the art of treating your team members like people first, not just tools to produce your work product.
  • Putting an emphasis on your team members as people results in a more engaged, productive and satisfied team. Your output will likely improve and your turnover rates decrease.
  • To implement a people-first management style, commit to a daily practice. Build people-centered KPIs into your goals. Listen actively, communicate clearly and lead with empathy.
  • If something doesn’t work, iterate on the process and keep trying.
