Make them feel that you believe in them. Or better yet, believe in them! Lots of bad managers, comparatively few people in this job who actually can’t do it. Your role is to figure out how much direction they need and provide it.

I’ve always found being respectful to be a good quality in those above me. How do you respectfully tell someone they need to step up their game? I want to elevate people in a positive way, but not sure they know they need to be elevated

woo hoo!
