• Impersonal authority figure, a necessary evil
  of the workplace
• Someone employees feel obligated to agree with
  rather than challenge (uses self-serving I
  language)
• May or may not provide good leadership

3

• Personal and approachable, meets employees at
  their level
• Helps others develop in their role
• Views self as part of the team, uses we more
  often than I in discussions that affect the
  group

4

• Management always takes credit for my/my teams
  ideas when talking with higher-ups.
• I feel like I dont have the support of
  management when Im looking for opportunities to
  grow.
• I cant stand the constant micro-managing.

5

• I feel like Im just a cog in the machine.
• My management is never around. Its like I
  report to a ghost.
• Management expects us to do miracles, but
  theyre never willing to dig in and help.

6

• Get involved with employees and understand your
  teams daily work so that you can better
  anticipate their needs.
• Be personable and think of your employees as
  colleagues rather than people on a lower job
  tier.
• Motivate rather than intimidate. Offer empathy
  and support during tough projects and long days.

7

• Listen as much as possible to understand others
  perspectives before making any final decisions.
• Dont play favorites. This can be difficult when
  you have a range of personalities and job
  performances, but strive to remain objective.
• Invest in your team. Help them go for their
  career goals rather than holding them back.

8

• Manage your time so that you have time available
  to support your team. Dont fill your day with
  back-to-back meetings.
• Make sure your team always has the supplies it
  needs. Pens, notebooks, anti-fatigue mats or even
  bathroom soap can make a huge difference when you
  spend most of your day at work.
