How do you go about building strong relations with employees in your region?

Soft people skills, and being able to non-defensively communicate with a wide range of personalities, are traits of strong leadership. Investing the time to work with employees who take more effort to get on the same page makes for a much stronger team. This brand of team collaboration broadly enhances work relations. Display yourself as a team player, openly and equally accepting everyone on your team.

"A team that feels safe and respected makes for positive and productive work culture. The smoothly running inner workings of a business depend on its predictability. Therefore, part of what builds an effective and reliable team is cohesive work relations, feeling secure in their relations, and being able to trust one another. That includes me. So I'll take the time to get to know as many employees in my district as I can. I want my door to always be open, and incentivize all of them to reach out to me for any reason. The information this yields, not all of it useful, is worth filtering through for the information of value that I would otherwise not attain. Not everyone has their eye on the entirety of the big picture. But everyone has their eye on part of it."
