Problem: Article: To engage your employees, you need to first empower them by allowing them to make decisions, much like a partner in your business. This could be giving certain approvals, leading small meetings or setting up sessions without asking for sign off from management.  As a manager, you will need to present certain guidelines around this, of course. But this will enable employees to be a part of the management process, so you can make joint decisions together. Treating each employee as a valuable member of the team will motivate them to put forth their best effort on a consistent basis. For example, to discuss how to increase sales for exceeding quarterly targets, you can organize a session where employees team-up to present possible solutions and ideas to improve sales. The manager of the sales department can act as a facilitator to keep the discussion on track. This way, your employees get a chance to bring their unique voice to solving business problems. This will make them feel that you value their involvement and contribution to a high level discussion and allow them to illustrate their expertise and talent. This will show them in a tangible way that their contributions and support matters to the company’s growth and that as a manager you take their ideas seriously. Just as you notice what your employees do and say, your employees will notice whether or not you keep your promises and care about their ideas.  Employees will be more committed to you and the company when they see you live up to your promises. So keep your promises to your employees, even if they seem small or minor. For example, if an employee approaches you for guidance or support while you’re busy, and you promise to get back to them when you have a free moment, follow through and help the employee at a later date. If you forget and the employee reminds you of your promise, but you make an excuse that you are too busy or you just don’t have the time, this could affect the employee’s morale and level of trust and respect for you.
Summary: Let your employees make small decisions. Encourage your employees to contribute solutions and ideas for any company issues and problems. Involve your employees in different assignments, tasks, and projects. If possible, implement your employees’ ideas. Only make promises you can keep.

Problem: Article: There is a variety of signs that someone may be interested, and they change from person to person. That said, there a few universal signs that she may want to take things to another level. If, however, she breaks eye-contact frequently, refuses to face you, or shrugs off the conversation, just move on -- she probably isn't interested. Here are some signs that she might enjoy your company:  She is laughing, smiling, and has an air of comfort around you. She is breaking the touch barrier, often by touching your upper arm. She is teasing, joking, or lightly making fun of you. She's laughing, making eye contact, and smiling, and the best way to see if she's ready for a dance is to lightly make contact. When you get up, gently place your hand on the top of her arm or the small of her back, or touch her hand at the bar when she makes a joke or good point. Don't linger or grab her; a brief touch on a non-threatening area, like the arm or hand, is enough. After you've danced, chatted, and had a good time, hand her your number and let her know you had a good time. More often than not she'll respond by giving you her number as well, but even if she doesn't, you've put the ball in her court.  For example, you could say: "I've had a good time, and I'd love to see you again. Give me a call sometime." You could also try something like: "Let's grab another drink/coffee together soon." If you've really clicked and can feel serious sparks between the two of you, let her know. Tell her you've had fun and ask if she wants to grab drinks, needs a ride/walk home, or wants to grab a late-night snack. If she asks you "what are you doing after this," it is likely not for casual conversation: she wants to see you later that night. Let her know that you'd love to grab another drink or have her over to your place.  For instance, you could say: "Let's grab a drink somewhere quieter." You could also try something like: "I'm getting out of here -- you have any plans?"
Summary: Read her cues. Break the touch barrier once you've developed some chemistry. Offer your number first. Ask to keep the night going if you feel a connection.

Problem: Article: No matter whether you sleep on your back, stomach, or side, adding pillows can help provide support. Basically, you want to add a pillow anywhere there's a space between your body and the mattress.  For instance, if you sleep on your stomach, which is the worst position for your back and posture, place a flat pillow under your stomach to provide support. Choose a flat pillow or no pillow for your head. If you sleep on your back, place a small pillow behind your knees, and choose a supportive pillow for your head. If you sleep on your side, place a pillow between your knees and pull them up towards your chest. Pick a pillow for your head that keeps your spine straight, or use a full body pillow. Avoid turning at your waist while you are in bed. Instead, keep your back straight and your stomach muscles tight, and turn your whole body when you want to reposition yourself. While you may have heard that one mattress or another is best for a healthy back, the truth is whatever works for you is best. Choose one that lets you rest comfortably and wake up pain free.  Remember to replace your mattress every decade or so. If your mattress isn't providing the support you need, add a board between the box springs and mattress, which should keep it from sagging.
Summary:
Provide support for your back with pillows while sleeping. Turn your body as 1 unit when laying down. Sleep with good posture by choosing a comfortable mattress.
