Rule 36 - Set An Example/Standard

Everyone needs someone to look up to, someone they can respect and want to emulate and that someone is you (me, us, fuad, akirasuri etc). If you think heroes are so out of date, old-fashioned and redundant, then think again. Everyone in your team has a special relationship with you. You are their leader, their inspiration, their boss, their mentor, guide, teacher, hero, role model, champion, defender, guardian. To be all these things means you have to set an example. You have to play the part. You have to set standards. You have to be that role model!

You've got to look the part, act the part, do the part - method acting here: feel the manager, think the manager, be the manager.

"You've got to give your staff something to aspire to." - Richard Templar
