An important part of a job that is considered "fulfilling" is greatly influenced by the person feeling valued at work. Cut that aspect off, and we are looking at a person who would rarely go above and beyond or even be satisfied enough to feel loyalty towards their place of work. To put in mildly, you’ll now have a disengaged employee at hand.

Your perspective on others isn’t as important as their perspective on themselves. You short-circuit growth when you rush to comfort, contradict self-criticisms, or offer quick solutions.

A positive company culture that forges strong employee bonds is essential to the success of any business. When your company invests in making employees feel appreciated and secure, there is a better chance of creating an enterprise that everyone feels loyal towards and more enthusiastic about fulfilling its goals. Stronger team bonds also minimize the microaggressions, apathy, and unethical actions that can systematically damage a company and the culture.

A manager who can't make a decision or who can't make a timely decision will frustrate his/her employees. Equally bad, a lack of decision will impede the progress of the manager's team. Some managers make endless requests for data as a way to postpone their having to make a decision. Employees end up spinning in circles , slicing and dicing the information far beyond what is truly needed for the manager to make a decision.
