In today’s bite-sized episode of Bytes, Bits & Brilliance, we explore one powerful leadership question: Do you know how important it is to know your people?

Whether you lead a team, manage projects, or mentor others, the truth is this —people don’t leave companies, they leave managers. And retention starts with relationship.

In under 10 minutes, I break down:

  • 3 reasons why knowing your team deeply matters
  • 3 practical ways to build meaningful connections
  • The link between empathy, psychological safety, and retention
  • Why human-centered leadership is a must-have in tech (and beyond)

You’ll walk away with insight you can apply today — to lead better, connect deeper, and cultivate stronger team dynamics.
