This is a very difficult balance to achieve, and it's something I'm still working on. Here are some of the things I have done:
1. Create a support blog for my team. Most of my team mails are simple, short emails, letting them know I have posted something new on the blog.
2. Run contests that your team members can choose to participate in or not.
3. Include a brief message in every team mail to remind your team members that you are always available if they have questions or need help, and include your email address where they can contact you.
4. Post regularly in Stream - I post encouragement, news, updates, and quotes.
5. Congratulate team members on big achievements, such as a new rank.
6. Reply to messages and emails promptly.
7. Ask questions and create polls that are designed to:
a. Determine what aspects of the business most people need help with.
b. Get your team members focused on their goals and their reasons for joining SFI.
8 When communicating with your team members ALWAYS think about what's in it for them, never what's in it for you.
