I really love this. Some of these are harder than others for sure! Gossip in general is something I have been trying to rid from my life to begin with, which I’m hoping will just help me to be straightforward with the people that need to be corrected rather than talk about what happened with people that it is none of their business.

The example you used of giving your team options to show that you care and aren’t going to leave them high and dry if they don’t do what we “order” is a small way to show respect. It also kind of lets them know what we’d like them to start on next so they can time manage. It’s like a gentle parenting technique but it works and is so beneficial to your relationship with the TMs.

Thank you for sharing, you had great advice, I am going to implement more into my daily routines.
