Never compare employees to each other. Each person is what they are, regardless of someone else, unless of course, it's for a promotion. If an employee brings up another employee you just say that we are here to talk about you, not anyone else.
Lead by example. This is probably the most important thing. Ex., if you are not on time, don't expect anyone else to be either, etc. Be fair. Try to make decisions based on if it was you in their situation. How would you talk to them if a manager was talking to you? Do the same. |

I've been on both sides of the fence. I have managed teams and been managed.
1. Give clear instructions on what you want done. It's amazing how often some vague statement is laid out, with a lot of gaps in it, on what what is expected of people. More than once, I have said, that a pretty subjective statement/email, could you expand on that one? Don't go with the Miss Cleo approach, people aren't mind readers. 2. As someone else mentioned, if someone is off the clock, don't bombard them with emails or phone calls on the weekend. Unless it's an emergency, it can wait. People that do that are not impressing anyone, it just makes them look like an unorganized douche. I look at it as "Your lack of planning, does not constitute an emergency on my part." I'm looking at 13 emails right now, that one guy sent out on a Sunday. At this point, I shut off my work phone and don't check emails on weekends. I have to say, it has dropped my stress level in half. 3. Be honest, don't be passive aggressive. If you have something to say, say it. People will respect that and being passive aggressive, is a sure way for people to lose all respect for the person delivering the message. |

I'm the wrong girl to talk shit about Zach to.
I don't think it's cute. I think it's kind of pussy. I don't get what he gets from coming here and antagonizing You but I've called 911 enough times that I'll leave him alone while he gets it. |
