As a manager, I hold trust in my team that they will get the work done. We give each other respect and maintain an open line of communication with the team. I’m always involved with my team and willing to listen. I plan social time luncheons with my team. I keep everything professional all the time and ensure they understand my role as their manager. All of these things are essential to everyone being able to get along as a team.
I remember, before I was in my current position, I had to speak up for one of my co-workers because she would let her team lead and others just walk all over her. Later, I became her manager and she was appreciative as to how much trust, respect, and honesty; I provided to her and my team. Building an understanding with each and everyone on my team makes our teams succeed and achieve their required tasks.
