[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8710431, member: 15700"] Indeed. There was a phrase I heard years ago: People don't quit their jobs. They quit their bosses. I think there is a lot of truth there. As someone who has been in leadership positions for nearly 30 years now in various manifestations (coaching, teaching, military NCO, corporate supervisor/manager), you absolutely cannot mistreat your staff unless you want a disaster. Even if you somehow manage to avoid an HR nightmare, people won't want to work for you if they don't respect you or feel respected by you. Sure, some people will work because they need the job, and will do well in spite of you because of their own career goals, but you'll never maximize your team if you aren't a fair leader. [LIST] [*]Lead by example (never ask someone to do something you aren't willing to do yourself) [*]Be present for them [*]Recognize everyone is an individual with individual motivations (tailor your leadership style to each person, rather than take blanket approaches) [*]Stand up for them and fight for them [*]Do what you can to set them up for success and their future. This is a big one I see leaders fail at the most often. Too many leaders I see want to keep high performers on their team for their own stats. That builds resentment. If I have high performers, I want to know what their goals are and the best way I can support them because they are the kind of people you want higher up. [*]Make sure everyone has the tools and information to the best of your ability to provide it to do their jobs. [*]Do your best to remove hurdles to their success (recognizing how everyone may have different hurdles). [*]Recognize the diversity/strengths/weakness of your team and use that to build cohesion and strong partnerships. [/LIST] That's just a start. You can go a long way by being nice, being informative, and being honest. [/QUOTE]
