Observation skills are necessary when managing employees.   Probably a good idea to take some time each day to observe different members of your team.    Your ability to observe will help you be aware how the people perceive you, whether your message is received and where there is a need for intervention to improve the performance of your team.

You can watch to see if an employee needs adjustment or recognition around their performance or behaviors. Both aspects are essential in coaching an employee for continuous improvement or motivation to maintain their high level of performance.
