As managers, we all have at least several agents or even few hundreds. So, what should we do with them?
To guide them towards success, in income, in time, in career. We do not just leave them to survive their own after recruiting them in. We have to treat them like our children, our babies - new to everything & hence we need to guide & lead & take good care of them to make sure that they will become grown up & independent one day.
So, who are we as managers?
"Parents" of agents, Papa & Mamas!
Take care of our "children"!

How do our agents look at us? Their papas or mamas? Do we look old enough for them to be recognized as "parents"? Do we do things that touch their hearts like their "parents"? Are we sensitive to their needs? Can we make them feel like at home? (with reward and punishment?)
I personally think that there should be a systematic way of doing things... an orderly way. To create atmosphere and training, and set a good example for them... What are our goals? Have we defined goals for both our agents and ourselves?
This is a good time to ponder upon these sensitive issues. But it is better now than never.
