Leading 30-40 staff along with 125 volunteers is a handful. They definitely keep me on my toes. Over the years, I have worked hard on my leadership skills. I have failed as a leader many times but I have also been shaped.
Here are a few tips from the One Minute Manager that I strive daily to hold onto.
- Encourage upward feedback. Ask your staff how you are doing and how you can be more helpful.
- These staff expect you to be professional. They expect you to be above reproach. If you act unprofessional in any way, it only undermines your credibility.
- We talk alot about leading by example. Your example is very powerful.
