 Development Manager needs to treat her people like they are “volunteers” where the driving assumption is that if we don’t create the right environment for them, they will leave. For knowledge workers if they are not happy, this will happen mentally if not physically.

We need to treat our people as if the only reason they are working for us is because they volunteer their services. This helps create the right atmosphere.
