Publicly Recognize Hard Work

Encourage All Opinions

Encourage All Opinions

  • The more people you have actively participating in discussions and attempting to make improvements to the organization, the better.
  • Never chastise a team member for voicing an opinion respectfully -- even if it goes against your original vision or isn’t well thought out.
