Management by wandering around

"Management by wandering around" is long-recognized, modestly-titled but respected approach to business management.  The idea is for the manager to see what's really going on, and to get to know people, on the factory floor, in the design studio, on the loading dock, in the cafeteria, and in their offices or cubicles.
Management by wandering around - bringing one's attention to otherwise unvisited parts of one's body and life - can be an equally useful approach to growth and health.
Of course, it's also just paying attention.
