Green Bullet Report post Posted November 9, 2020 when you have 8 or less guys they work for you. When you have more than 8 guys you work for them. compartmentalize and be truthful, transparent and hold everyone accountable the same way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bojangles Report post Posted November 9, 2020 Learn peoples strengths and weaknesses, and then assign them to the places where they can perform best. Also, learn when to give someone a second chance, and when to burn someone. you can’t control people , so don’t try. If they are not on your side, send them packing. reward good work, and faithfulness. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZHunter1 Report post Posted November 9, 2020 Don't ask them to do anything that you wouldn't do. Each man is different, and each has their own strength and weakness it will be good to know and who on the crew has leadership abilities. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
