We should maintain high expectations for our staff, but this should go hand-in-hand with demonstrating high care for their well-being. By giving staff ownership and empowering them to make decisions, we can foster a sense of autonomy and trust. This balance between high expectations and high care can help create a supportive and productive environment.
