Do we matter to others?
Assessing one’s sense of importance within family, friendship, and professional circles, as well as within society as a whole. The components of this sense of importance can be broken down into three key elements:
Awareness: Do people pay attention to you, or do they just walk right past you without noticing you?
The importance: Do the people around you truly care about your well-being?
Trust: Do people ask you for help, support, or advice?
Helping your colleagues feel valued means helping them answer these three questions positively.
