Have a response time of no longer than 24 hours. If you cannot address something immediately, at a minimum send an acknowledgement that you have received the message and you will respond later.
Communicate openly and transparently. Provide completely honest feedback and talk openly about challenging issues in a respectful and professional manner. Address the issue, not the person.
Discuss objectives up front and establish clear deadlines for all projects, issues, and commitments. Ensure total clarity and gain agreement from those involved.
Take personal responsibility for making things happen and looking for how we can do it, rather than explaining why it cannot be done, or making excuses.
A scarcity mentality is what keeps many of us from achieving our goals. An abundance mindset refers to the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody.
Cultivate an environment of team unity and collaboration
Coach and empower others to step up as leaders. Set the expectation that everyone is a leader. Even if an individual does not have an official leadership title, they should act as a leader and find a way to contribute to the team’s goals.
Remember that everyone is trying to do their best, pay attention to things that make everyone unique, acknowledge their specialness. Treat everyone as individuals, not numbers.
