Act like the CEO, have the big corner office, but eat in the lunch room. When you do, hang your jacket on the back of the uncomfortable plastic chairs you bought at a sale.
On Fridays, buy pizzas for everyone.
Never keep your office door closed. If you do all the office doors in your company will close.
Spend as little time in your office as possible. Nothing happens inside unless you make it happen outside.
You don’t lead by osmosis, you lead by direct contact. The employees want to see you, they want to wave at you, they want you to smile at them, and get that atta-boy, atta-girl pat on the back. You’ll make them feel good, and people who feel good do good work.
Should there be a crisis of any nature internally or externally, you are the source of comfort. Always keep your head…stay in control.
When you have outside visitors, greet them in the reception area. When they leave escort them out the same way. Brag about your firm as you walk, employees love being shown off
