How do you create connection/trust with your direct reports while maintaining professionalism as their manager? I want to have a strong relationship without crossing any lines. How do you navigate this?

I've learned that it is extremely hard to establish this if you didn't start off on the right foot. From the get-go you have to set clear boundaries and expectations while ensuring their voices are also heard. Keep it professional, respectful, and place your trust in them. Forcing people to earn your trust never really goes over the way we think it will.

thank you!

It can be difficult but I learn what they are motivated by and how they learn best. I build trust with them and rapport with them by rewarding them in a way that motivates them. I don't get too personal though and thats the key.

thanks!

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout.

The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?
