Want to build a world class team? Be a world class leader.
- Live by example.
- Trust first.
- Give first.
Take care of your people, even the “smallest” of employees or even contractors.
They’re not “expenses,” they’re investments that pay big returns.
In the last month or two I’ve helped support a dozen of my team members with new furniture, tables, chairs, treadmills, and laptops. Not all things are directly work-related, but supporting morale pays for itself.
Shout out to my team lead, Jade, for throwing in “work hard, play hard” mouse pads as he ordered their new equipment. 😆
