Setting clear expectations is critical, and an open-door policy can do a lot to help put your employees at ease. Read more in the article, “Help Your Employees Be Fearless” by Jessica Stillman.

“David Farrar was so wonderful to work with. We planned several seminars together and David always was approachable and pleasant. He has a rare ability to work successfully with all levels of management and employees. He is very well schooled in his areas of expertise.

“What a pleasure it has been to know and work with David. Our first encounter was at the Twin Cities Chapter of ASTD when he presented on Emotional Intelligence. His presentation was very well received and rated one of the best. Since then, David joined the Marketing Committee for ASTD-TCC and ultimately stepped into the role of director. His enthusiasm, willingness to dive in and help as well as his creativity all have a positive impact. Most important is David’s ability to lead. He builds such strong relationships that everyone he works with wants to do an excellent job in support of his vision.”
