It is corny. It is a cliché. But it’s a great and important truth – you’re only as good as the people you employ. To build staff into a team that does the best possible job for your organisation, the following 6 Tips will go a long way to achieving that:
Be friendly to staff members but don’t treat them like close personal friends. They want you to be the boss and they want to be employees. It works better that way.
Tell them everything. And expect them to tell you the same. Shared knowledge builds loyalty and trust.
Practice Pulitzer Prize plagiarism. Steal only from the best. If you need help, reach out to your professional community. Someone, somewhere, somehow will know how to help you.
Invest heavily in loyalty. If staff members know that you’re always loyal to them, they’ll give you the same in return.
Realise that fairness establishes your credibility.
Never be too busy to laugh. Nothing gets people through a crisis like a good laugh – and a manager who’s willing to enjoy it with them.
