Don’t Stand Over Their Shoulder-
Once you were not a boss or a leader. You once were at the bottom of the food chain, and what was one thing that probably drove you crazy? Your boss standing over you and watching your every move.
It might be OK for a couple of days, but remember you more than likely interviewed/hired these people. You already believe they have what it takes. Do you really need to see it for yourself? Not watching your employees’ every move will instill trust between you and your team.
Lead by Example-
If you want your employees to be punctual, you must be punctual. If you want to them to stay late or work on the weekends, you must do the same.
Show them you are willing to get your hands dirty, and they will follow. If you work hard, they will too.
Fairness-
You may have had that one boss that always favored one person and that one person could do anything he or she wanted to. Being fair is not easy, but it is honorable. If you are fair with your employees then they will respect you because they know you are being fair, even if they don’t like your actions.
Being fair also means rewarding that person with the promotion or that raise because he or she deserves it and not rewarding someone who doesn’t deserve a reward and only gets one because of some other reason, like precedent or momentum.
