Keep your door metaphorically open at all times. Be an open book. Remain open to the opinions and suggestion of others at all times. Your employees are your business’s main asset. Without them, the work that you need to get done day in, day out won’t be complete, the money that you need to make in order to turn over a profit won’t get made, and your job will be made ten times harder as you seek to carry your company’s burden alone.
