Being a boss is a contact sport. You and your team don't win unless you make a lot of contact. So touch base a lot.

When you touch base a lot, team members expect you to be around. When you touch base a lot, you learn about your team members so you can make better judgments and decisions. When you touch base a lot you can have lots of conversations, which is how you grow relationships.

I studied top performing bosses for more than a quarter century. They came in all shapes and sizes and worked in a wide variety of situations. The great ones touch base a lot.

If you have a copy of the Working Supervisor's Support Kit , you'll find more on this in the chapters titled "Some Basic Principles."
