When leaders take stock in their performance through a formal review or informal conversations, one issue often overlooked is the quality of their relationships. The ability to get things done and to work through difficult decisions depends on a solid connection with others. In the course of a busy schedule, some relationships take a backseat to the tasks and projects that fill the calendar. In other instances, relationships suffer as leaders avoid certain individuals because of dissenting views or conflict.
"However, telling others that they have been suggested for more attention is a surefire way to make whatever issues exist worse. No one wants to think they are now a “task” for the leader to achieve."
I can imagine Michael Scott doing this in a hilarious scene from "The Office".
Besides conflict relationships - its all too easy to neglect solid performers that show up, get their job done, and never cause a fuss. Some people recommend making a list of people and putting touch-base time on a schedule to ensure everyone feels connected.
On the money.... AGAIN!
I literally LOL'd at this...

Apologies...
I should have said, "L'dOL"
That way is far too weird looking to be correct.
I laugh out loud'd at that comment.

Assume you are talking about those that are outside of your direct reports?
