Google conducted “Project Oxygen,” a multiyear research initiative, to identify manager qualities that enhanced a given team’s success. According to the Harvard Business Review, Google discovered that drive and technical expertise were outflanked by some surprising character qualities.
These qualities included: being even-keeled, making time for one-on-one meetings, working with a team in the trenches, and taking an interest in employees’ social lives.
Results are important, but many leaders overlook the importance of developing strong relationships with their team.

A fruitful leader has heart and invests in developing strong relationships.
