ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEES TO DISAGREE WITH YOU<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No one should be afraid to speak the truth in a respectful fashion. \u00a0There should always be room for improvement.<\/p>\n

\n

DON’T MICROMANAGE<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Empower your employees and then let them do their jobs. \u00a0Don’t let them make a decision, agree with the decision and then turn around and go against them.<\/p>\n

\n

SHOW COMPASSION<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Positive relationships encourage employees to care about their work.<\/p>\n

\n

VOW TO BE CONSTANTLY LEARNING AND CURIOUS<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You don’t know what you don’t know.<\/p>\n

\n

KNOW YOURSELF<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Understand your work style and how it affects others. \u00a0Evaluate yourself; Celebrate your talents; Be open for improvement.<\/p>\n

\n

BE LASER-FOCUSED<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Stick to one goal at a time.<\/p>\n

\n

GET RID OF POOR MANAGERS<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If they are not team players, they don’t belong on the team. \u00a0Integrity and honesty are critical to success.<\/p>\n

\n

PRACTICE LEADERSHIP SKILLS DAILY<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Studies show that experts have practiced their skills an average of 10,000 hours in their lifetime. \u00a0Always practice being a leader.<\/p>\n
