Motivate

• Everyone has an invisible sign hanging around their neck that reads “Make Me Feel Important”



Listen

• Leaders have to be good listeners



Trust Your Team

• If you don’t believe in your team, they are unlikely to give you 100%



Say ‘Thank You’

• Many managers don’t seem to realise the power of these two words



Be Courteous

• Again this is so obvious that it should hardly need saying



Keep your ear to the ground

• This will help you to spot a looming staff crisis before it happens



Be Flexible

• Recognize that even the most committed people have a life outside work



Stay Cool Under Pressure

• If the BOSS looks as if he is losing his head in a crisis, how do you expect the rest of the staff to respond?



Lead by Example

• Be the FIRST into the office and the LAST out, especially when the times are hard



Be an Expert

• Make sure that the staff knows that you know what you are talking about



Stay Humble

• Never get too big for your boots



Have a Sense of Humor

• If you don’t have one, then go home



Celebrate

• When the news is good, don’t be afraid to bring out the champagne



Thanks
