Office Wisdom - Leadership Begins When the Door Opens

 💥 MY Workplace Story - Leadership Begins When the Door Opens

A few years back, in one of my earlier companies, our CEO was a leader, we never met. 

We met him through his emails and that too once or twice a year...but never in person.

He stayed inside his cabin — blinds down, door closed, always in meetings with the “top few.”

And it showed.

▶️The energy on the floor was dull.

▶️People completed tasks but stopped caring.

▶️Ideas dried up.

▶️Morale low.

🔥 One colleague told me, ‘Honestly, most of us are just counting days and waiting for the month end....SALARY"

That line stayed with me.

Today, I remind every leader I meet to do the following:- 

✅ It’s about proximity.

✅ A ‘Hi.’

✅ A quick chat.

✅ A hand on the shoulder.

✅ A moment of genuine presence.

If a leader stays distant, trust never forms — and without trust, an organisation slowly breaks from the inside.

🔥 Because here’s the truth…

Various studies have shown that:-

Emotionally intelligent leaders or inclusive leadership (i.e., leaders who are accessible, open, and emotionally supportive) build high-trust teams.

The result? Better collaboration, higher productivity, faster problem-solving, lower attrition, and a direct positive impact on the company’s growth and financial performance.
