Making your employees feel more comfortable while working tirelessly for you isn't something that happens overnight. It's a process, and it takes time and effort. Follow these tips to get you started:
1. Hire the right people. Look for people who have a passion for your product or service, but also know how to work well with others and who will fit into your team's culture.
2. Be transparent with your employees. Tell them what you're trying to accomplish and how they can help achieve those goals, then give them all the information they need to do their jobs effectively.
3. Encourage team members to take risks and learn from their mistakes, but only if they're willing to make them. If someone isn't making enough mistakes, encourage them to find ways to improve their work or come up with new ideas so they'll feel more comfortable taking risks.
4. Focus on solving problems instead of blaming people when things go wrong (but only if they actually went wrong). If something breaks down, ask yourself "Why?" instead of looking for someone else to blame or punish because that person isn't going to fix anything by doing so anyway. You won't be able to fix everything yourself either so don't try too hard; just focus on fixing one thing at a time until everything gets fixed.
