A good manager pays attention to the needs of their team members. Generally speaking, we are most in tune with those who are similar to use – so it’s obviously easier for us to communicate appreciation and encouragement to others with primary and secondary languages of appreciation similar to ours. But as a result, we are less likely to communicate effectively in the language that is least important to us personally, and this can have challenging consequences for the manager.
