2. Focus On Teaching Not Leading
This will vary from place to place, but I make sure to relay intent behind an order to all levels of the work force before we begin a task. If I ask for something to be done without a reason, it will be done as I asked verbatim. But if I say we need to do (x) for the purpose of (y), all of a sudden the whole task changes and it is done more in a more efficient way for the end goal.
This can also give menial tasks meaning where as before it just seemed like a task to fill time.
Another benefit to this is that it allows individuals to grow as leaders and lets them find better ways to do things.
