1. MAKE REALCONNECTIONS.

“When dealing with people,remember you are not dealing

with creatures of logic, butcreatures of emotion.”

- Dale Carnegie,

Inspirational Speaker, Author & Educator

GET AWAY FROMEMAILS ANDTECHNOLOGY,AND USE FACE-TO-FACEINTERACTIONSTO HELP BUILDTRUST.

GET TO KNOW YOUR TEAM ASMUCH AS POSSIBLE AND,MOST IMPORTANTLY, LETTHEM GET TO KNOW YOU.

2. PROMISE MADE,PROMISE KEPT.

"It takes 20 years to build areputation and five minutes to

ruin it."

- Warren Buffett,

Chairman & CEO of Berkshire Hathaway

IF YOU PROMISE SOMETHINGTO YOUR EMPLOYEES,

DELIVER.

Your word is your currency.

WHAT YOUSAY AND HOWYOU SAY ITARE JUST ASIMPORTANT ASFOLLOWINGTHROUGHWITH THOSESTATEMENTS.

3. SET CLEAREXPECTATIONS.

“To succeed in business, it isnecessary to make others see

things as you see them.”

- Aristotle Onassis,

Shipping Magnate & Businessman

BE AWARE OFTHE GAP INKNOWLEDGEBETWEEN WHATYOU KNOW ANDWHAT THEPEOPLEWORKING FORYOU KNOW.

SOMETIMES A CHANGE IN YOURPERSPECTIVE MIGHT BE REQUIREDTO ALLOW YOU TO SEE THINGS ASYOUR EMPLOYEES SEE THEM.

The reverse can also be true.

4. DON’T HAVE ALLTHE ANSWERS.

“You don’t learn to walk byfollowing rules. You learn bydoing, and by falling over.”

- Sir Richard Branson,

Founder of Virgin Group

FAILURES NEED NOT BE SEEN ASFAILURES, BUT RATHER ASOPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING.

Nobody has all the answers allthe time, not even a CEO

MOST SUCCESSFULCEOS OUT THEREARE NOT AFRAID TOTRY, EVEN IF THEOUTCOME ISN’TALWAYS WHATTHEY EXPECT.

THERE IS AS MUCH SUCCESS,IF NOT MORE, IN THE

LEARNING THAT COMES FROMFAILURE.

C O M P A N Y . C O M

5. TRUST FIRST.

"The best way to find out ifyou can trust somebody is to

trust them."

- Ernest Hemingway

INSTEAD OF THINKING OFTRUST AS SOMETHING THATCAN BE NEGOTIATED, THINKOF IT AS SOMETHING YOULOOK FOR FROM OTHERS

- in exchange for first putting it outthere yourself.

YOU’LL BE AMAZEDHOW MUCHSTRONGER ANDMORE EFFECTIVECOLLABORATION ISAMONGST YOURTEAM MEMBERS.

AND YOU'LL BE AMAZED ATHOW MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE

YOU’LL BE LEADING THEM.
