MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!

1. Treat all people with respect and dignity at all times.
2. Avoid foul language and disparaging comments.
3. Never play favorites.
4. Seek opinions and welcome feedback.
5. Give credit where credit is due and remember that a word of encouragement or a pat on the back goes a long way.

8. Meet your workers on their turf and avoid office meetings if at all possible.
9. Know your workers and learn a little about them personally to create common ground.
10. No matter how busy you are, always make time for your people.
11. If you don’t know the answer to a question, be honest and say so.
12. If you promise to get an answer for a worker, make sure you follow through.
13. Support your workers openly to your peers and your superiors.
14. Lead by example and set the pace for others.
15. Avoid fraternizing with your workers.
16. Never be one of the workers yourself, except in select circumstances.
17. Be known as the person to provide your workers with the tools and resources needed to do their jobs.
18. Make sure your objectives and instructions are clear and doable providing both written and oral formats.
19. Don’t be afraid to counsel workers who fail to perform or follow the rules.
20. Insist that your subordinate supervisors follow these commandments!
