February 2023 16th issue: Don't isolate someone mentally

In order to build a trustworthy team, it is important for managers to pay attention to the mental state of the people around them and take steps to prevent them from mentally isolating each other.
If employees become mentally isolated, it will have a negative impact on teamwork and work. At first, management may think it's nothing more than a small mistake, trouble, or an argument between teams.
But it's dangerous to leave it there. If you panic after an employee quits, a gaping hole in projects, or your company's assets being taken away, it may be too late. Managers should understand the causes of minor troubles and work on countermeasures and prevention. Just as a dam can crumble through the tiniest hole, so can a corporate organization crumble from the mental isolation of a single employee.
Employers should not neglect the mental health of their employees. Observe the whole team at all times to see if anyone is mentally isolated. Then, let's create a system so that no one becomes mentally isolated in the team. Companies are people. Companies that don't value people will die. Conversely, companies that can excite people's hearts and increase cohesion and trust can achieve great results.
