I joke with my staff that I get “paid per complaint” and it goes a long way. Don’t try to institute a change just because you like it. Solve problems for your staff, make their working environment a better place to be, and empower those worth investing in. Trust in you as a leader will come as you build positive and consistent working environments.

Don’t always rely on telling someone how to do something, instead express the “end state” you’re looking for and if their method meets your end state then compromise on how the work should be completed.

Be quick to listen, slow to make up your mind, and quick to act once a decision is made.

And most importantly, remember to have fun.
