Ten leadership lessons that will make teams stronger

Leadership evolves with every team and challenge. Over time, I’ve collected a set of principles to drive positive outcomes for both teams and individuals:

  1. Be the kind of manager you wish you had.
  2. Encourage, nurture, and elevate.
  3. Set people up for success.
  4. Fulfill your team's Maslow needs.
  5. Everyone has different motivations and preferences.
  6. People do their best work on projects they enjoy.
  7. Cultivate safe spaces and great environments.
  8. Clear communication is paramount.
  9. Be open to feedback and provide good feedback.
  10. Listen and acknowledge the experiences and feelings of others.
