Recommendation

Don’t try to motivate your employees by manipulating them; be honest with them and you’ll discover that they motivate themselves. Don’t humiliate them when they make mistakes; instead, treat errors as valuable learning experiences. Don’t automatically tune staffers out when they speak; listen and you will discover a lot. Don’t hold meetings just to meet; make sure every conference has a purpose. And above all, don’t micromanage, because that drives good people out the door. This is an ample list of management “don’ts.” But what should you do to manage well?

Although his anecdotes are overly simplified and may seem contrived, getAbstract believes Bobinski presents his points persuasively.

Only builders can develop “passion-driven teams.” To become a builder, make these three commitments:
