However much time you are spending with your staff today, double it! I am currently working on a new product where I am interviewing top successful business individuals and one of the common themes which is discussed is communicating with staff. One such person was the Chairman of The Royal Mail and he said that on his way to work if he sees a postman, he stops the car to have a chat! Andrew (Hope you don't mind me mentioning my new product - all profits are going to Breast Cancer Charity). Great post and so appropriate.

Sometimes those indirect reports can benefit from an engaged and passionate management-type other than their direct boss. Geoff makes a good point about direct reports AND indirect reports.

Having been a manager for a few years now, I can't say enough about not forgetting about your staff. Doesn't matter if they report to you directly or indirectly -- everyone still deserves your attention to some extent. If all it does is make them feel wanted and appreciated, that's enough. Ideally, as noted above -- you have more than a minor interaction with your staff. Oy, can I agree with you more on this?
