Favorites No-no
If you treat some of your employees better than
others, it will kill morale. Treat everyone
fairly. That doesnt mean everyone has to be
treated the same - dont be afraid to
individualize if the situation requires it.

Share the spotlight
If you get an atta boy from your boss or a
customer, pass it along to your team. Take every
opportunity to make sure your teams hard work is
recognized. If it could win an award, nominate
them. If you win, let your team accept it.

Find a comfort zone
Youre more comfortable holding meetings in your
office or a conference room? Why not try a
space your team would feel comfortable in.
Mingle with your directs and find a setting that
would work best for everyone.

Keep your
commitments
This one is simple if you say youll do
something, do it. If you dont, it will hurt
your credibility and a manager without
credibility is useless.

Let them have a say
Nothing motivates people like having a sense of
control or ownership in the outcome. Ask your
team to bring two important questions or
suggestions to your next meeting.

Buy em lunch
Surprise your team by taking them to lunch once
in a while. It can be an excellent way to
discover whats on their mind and how things are
going in their area. Even having a few pizzas
delivered around noon can turn around a dreary
day.

Communicate
(even when its bad news)
An absence of information from you wont mean an
absence of conclusions for your team. If your
team feels like theyre being left in the dark or
that youre holding back, their motivation and
trust in you will suffer.
