Being a manager, avoid monopolizing the job. Don’t micro-manage. You’re not running a one-man company. I’ve mentioned that you should determine what your co-workers’ weaknesses are. If problems arise, talk to them calmly. Trust your team. They’ve got brains, and know some things you don’t. Please don’t act as if you’re the King of the World, and that your staff is just there to wait for your orders. Otherwise, they might get resentful, and eventually quit the job.
However, this doesn’t mean that you have to consent to their whims or hang-ups. You are still the manager, and they are obligated to follow your rules. The bottomline is that you wouldn’t get the respect you rightfully deserve, if you do not give them the respect they too, need.
