If you are a leader high up in an organization, or in charge of a large team, learn the names of as many of your team members/employees as you can -- even if that means learning hundreds of names.
And, then, equally important, address team members/employees by name when you pass them in the hall, share an elevator ride, or see them in the parking lot.
Everyone likes to be addressed by their name. And, the impression you'll make by addressing someone many layers below you within an organization by name will be powerful and memorable.
Unfortunately, many leaders don't practice this behavior often enough.
