Primer will help your new color go on evenly and stand out more once it's dry. If you're using an oil paint, use an oil-based primer. For any other types of paint, opt for a latex primer. If you're painting a dark color on top of an existing dark color, you don't need to use primer. However, if you're painting a light color on top of a dark color, use a layer of primer first so the dark color doesn't show through the paint. Use a 12in (2.55.1cm) square or angled paintbrush with nylon bristles. Use the edge of your brush to create a smooth line of primer on your walls around the trim and baseboards in your room. Extend the primer 23 inches (5.17.6cm) out from your trim. Work a 9in (23cm) roller in W-shaped patterns across your wall for the best coverage. Always keep your roller over one-quarter of the area that you already painted so you don't leave any gaps in your primer. Spread the primer in a thin layer so it doesn't form any drips. Continue rolling the primer until the entire room is covered. Allow the primer to dry completely over 1 day. For hard to reach places, stand on a step ladder or use a long-handled roller. If your primer isn't evenly coated, apply another layer before using your paint.

Summary: Use oil-based primer for oil-based paint and latex-based primer for all other paint. Paint around trim and baseboards with a paintbrush. Use a foam roller to cover large areas with paint.

Show them sincere compassion, as they'll be able to tell if you're genuinely concerned for them. Hear them out when they express their opinions, praise them for their hard work, and never use inappropriate language. Remember, you set the tone, so model the type of behavior you'd like your team to display. Bear in mind showing them respect doesn't mean you should cave in to their whims. You're in charge, and you know what's best for the team. If someone disagrees with you, listen to their argument, and use their input to refine your decision. If you can't use their suggestion, let them know that you respect their opinion, but are going in another direction. Break your promises and you'll lose respect. You may be charismatic and knowledgeable, but you're bound to have a mutiny on your hands if you break your word. In order to keep promises, you have to know what's doable and what's not. Be realistic when you make a promise, and make sure it's something you can deliver. For example, don't promise your staff big raises unless you're 100% certain you have room in the budget. If you're an officer of a club at school, don't promise that you'll get more funding when you haven't even talked your principal or school administration. As a leader, people may be intimidated by you, and they might not rush to lend you constructive criticism. Instead of waiting for someone to speak up, ask your team specific questions about how you can improve your performance. Don't ask yes or no questions about whether or not they like you. Instead, ask specific questions, such as, "In your opinion, what can I do to be a better leader," or "What are some ways I could communicate more clearly?" Stand by your decisions, and take responsibility for the consequences. If things go wrong, the buck stops with you, so don't blame others to cover your mistakes. Think of yourself as the captain of a ship; the fate of the ship is in your hands, and it's up to you to steer everyone in the right direction. When things don't work out as planned, a good leader perseveres. Instead of sticking your head in the sand, treat setbacks as learning opportunities. Your appearance can inspire confidence, but know the difference between dressing to impress and dressing to influence. Dressing to impress, or being overdressed, could drive a wedge between you and those you lead. For instance, if you manage a casual restaurant, wearing a suit and tie is impractical, might turn off your customers, and could alienate your staff. If you're president of your high school class, wearing a crisp button-up or neat dress to a meeting is better than wearing ripped jeans and a stained, wrinkly tee-shirt.

Summary: Treat your team with respect. Keep your promises. Ask for feedback from those you lead. Hold yourself accountable. Dress in a way that's consistent with your role.
