Advocate for them, don't let other teams or managers walk all over them.

Protect them from the politics at the top as much as you can.

Treat your staff well and with empathy

like

1. Actively look to develop your team's skill sets rather than just manage productivity. This shows your value for them and their career.

2. Grow in emotional intelligence so you can handle the difficult conversations well.

3. Practice giving positive feedback so when constructive feedback is needed it will be received better. If someone only gets feedback in a corrective way it can be demoralizing.

4. Under promise and over deliver. Set realistic timelines for promised deliverables on your end to them and have their back on expectations from others regarding their deliverables.

Be consistent.

If your team knows what you expect and knows how you’re going to keep up your end of the bargain - it goes smoother.

You can be the change you wanted to see when you were at their level, and your team may very well love you for it, but you can’t expect them to guess what that vision is and if you’re all over the place, so will their output.

How do you feel about splitting everything 50-50 with your partner? I don’t feel as rigid about it bc I feel it balances out one way or another, but my partner feels as if he owes me if we don’t split 50-50 and I pay more. I get where he’s coming from but 50-50 just feels transactional and not intimate.
For context: I make 3x more than he does and he’s still finishing his medical fellowship, so I don’t feel it’s a matter of feeling less than.
