Be very honest with your team at all times.  Never pretend to know or understand something that you don’t know or understand.  Should any employee or teammate of yours have a deficiency in any area, you would not want them to pretend that it didn’t exist, and it should be the same with you.  You should embody the honesty that you want your team to embody to you. For example, if you are unsure about how to make some of the changes that need to be made, tell them.  Perhaps they know something about the office that you don’t know and can provide concrete and useable feedback. Being passionate about your work can provide an example for others to follow. People won’t be able to believe in you until you fully believe in yourself. Employees, coworkers and peers are much more likely to go along with what you tell them to do if you’re actually genuinely invested in it. The more passionate you are about your work, the more likely people are to be inspired by your actions.  Your team will not work hard for you if they feel that you don’t care about the job.  Show them your genuine interest. Take some time to learn even more about the work you do or the people that you serve.  This increase in knowledge will signal that you care and will encourage your staff to learn more. Keep in mind that you are the leader and primary role model for your team, so they look to you for guidance, support, and empowerment. To be an effective role model, commit to your own personal and leadership growth, such as by attending leadership conferences, reading leadership books, and identifying admirable traits in your role models. Strive to be an ethical, supportive, and conscious leader. Remember to believe in yourself and others. Believe in your team’s abilities to help empower them. Provide your team with helpful resources and advice. After you give advice, guidance, and support, be sure to step back and let them make their own decisions. Ensuring people know that you care about them is a great way to inspire them. They’ll be much happier to invest their trust and time in you if you show genuine interest in what they do and how they feel. Just taking a small part of your day out to talk and listen to other people can help maintain a positive atmosphere. Whilst identifying and acting upon your strongest points are great ways to get people stimulated, it’s also important to remind everyone that you also have your own set of weaknesses. Showing people how you overcome and deal with these weaknesses is a great way to connect with them professionally and emotionally and to help them develop as people or professionals. People will find it easier to relate to your vulnerability as this will help them understand that everyone must overcome their own challenges. If someone on your staff should do something exceedingly well or should go above and beyond the call of duty, they should be recognized for that.  People respond well to being praised when they do a good job and will tend to work hard for you if they feel recognized.  This is also a great way to incentivize your other staff to take initiative.
