I must also function as a mentor. Establish for yourself a clear agenda. Every morning I write down the five most important things I need to accomplish that day. Let your people know where they stand. Stay in touch and communicate with them so they don't question where they stand with you or your organization.
Leaders fix what's broken when it's broken.
Problems not dealt with will simply multiply. No repainting the flag pole. Make sure the work being done by the people in your organization is productive and vital. Set high standards. People's performance rarely exceeds the standard you expect of them.
