Wander frequently. 2. Wander aimlessly without an agenda. 3. Be inconsistent. Be spontaneous. Schedule time for this spontaneity if necessary. 4. Be a good listener. Don’t try to steer the conversation. Let the other person do most of the talking. 5. Be open and don’t argue. The goal is to provide an open environment of trust. 6. Talk about non-company matters to really get to know your employees. 7. Wander about even if you’re an introvert; it gets easier with time and practice. 8. Remember, this is not a waste of time. Personal involvement is essential to good management. 9. Ask open-ended questions. Are you happy here? Do you like your job? What would make it more meaningful and productive: How is your family? How was the vacation? 10. Talk with all your employees, not just the ones who are easy to talk with or who have similar interests. Source: Hoppe, . 1997. Is MBWA still alive?
