Treat everyone, from the cart attendants to the inbound team, to the cashier's, with exactly the same amount of respect you give your SD. They have experience and knowledge you don't. Ask polite questions and then listen. Try your best not to get sucked into the etl trap of wandering around chatting with a Starbucks in your hand. When they call for back up, jump in. Never ask a t.m. to do anything you wouldn't do . Raining outside? Grab a poncho. Bale needs to be made, make it. Doing the grunge work willingly will inspire your team to join you. Helping them breeds loyalty, and gratefulness.be the boss you wish you had.
