Hey, everyone can be a SFI Team Leader.
1. Make Time to Interact with Your People
While it's true that management involves a certain amount of direction and problem-solving, top managers realize a significant part their role also involves coaching their employees and facilitating better performance. It seems simple enough, but it's not always easy to pull off. It requires a sincere commitment to on-going interaction with your people, and this takes time. Interact with your people--become familiar with your employees' talents and limitations and give them the tools and encouragement they need to succeed. Listen to them. Encourage them, provide them with guidance, respect their efforts and ask questions to get a feeling for what motivates them.
2. Trust Your Common Sense
There is no end to the lists, tools, and resources you can find to help you improve as an entrepreneur. But you already have within you the most important tool you need to be a remarkably effective leader: your own common sense. Listen to your inner voice when your sensibilities are challenged, and let your sense of fairness be your guide whenever possible.
3. Acknowledge Performance, But Reward with Discretion
Everyone likes rewards. People feel that their efforts are appreciated when they are rewarded. You should clearly communicate want you want employees to achieve, and always acknowledge their efforts. But consider rewarding them only when they consistently exceed your expectations.
