When working with your staff, this should be the mission. You just want your staff to be great! That means you will cheer for them, advise them, criticise them, and YES discipline them. But all this, plus much more, is done because you care about them and want to make them great.If you can't honestly answer with the affirmative that we share the same goal, then there is a problem. Either you have the wrong person or you have to brush on your leadership skills and really think about what your job is as a leader.
Warning: THIS TAKES HUGE COMMITMENTS AND HARD WORK AND MUCH CARING!
But I will tell you this; there is nothing more rewarding than watching people grow and get better!
Have a plan, work at it, and never ever stop working with your people. As I ask my clients: Tell me something you are working on that is more important than your people? I never get anything better in a response.
