Don t think you have to be liked by your people-being respected is more important. Challenge People -Create a work environment that makes people excited about what they do. Show them how their job contributes to the overall success of the organization. Stretch them to reach their potential and they will appreciate and love you for it. Good -It may sound corny, but people need to feel appreciated.
People spend more time at work than they do awake at home.
Make yourself tell people how and why you appreciate them. Your positive comments will eventually shape them into the people they need to become. Quit whining about your own problems and start leading. There is always someone who won t like what you are doing. Don t let other people keep you from being successful.
