Small things which can inspire your team at work...
"I have been managing people in various capacities for three decades and I feel very fortunate to have worked with amazing people everywhere I have worked.  As a younger manger, I experienced some stressful situations but thanks to wonderful mentors and great role models, I have been able to grow my management skills. Over the years, I have listened to hundreds of people who have shared their experiences about why they have left their jobs.  The most common ones which I have heard are:
""I felt underappreciated and undervalued.""
 ""I felt that I was not being useful any more.""
""I do not like my manager.""
""My supervisor is not nice.""
I am still work in progress but here are a few things which I have learnt over the years and which I also practice as a manager.
- Take time to understand your own personality and what motivates and inspires you to succeed.
- Be sure to recruit the right person for the right job.
- Praise and reward staff when they contribute to the team or simply when they fulfill their tasks.
- Don't ever talk down to your staff.
- Don't ever make another human being feel smaller than you, regardless of your position.
- Don't ever shout and scream at your staff.  If you do these things, the damage is irreparable.
- Don't hold a bad intention for anyone on your team.  Bad intentions can manifest some really awful things.
- Don't criticize your staff at their backs or in front of them. This makes people very defensive and then they withdraw.
