Communication. Understanding strengths, weaknesses and ENCOURAGING room to grow and exploring within the organization.
Investment in my personal success and fulfillment.
Advocacy to their leadership.

Leaders need to constantly be reminded that the numbers on their spreadsheets represent individual people, so they confront the true weight of their strategies.
Please just fire people who can't perform or are unpleasant instead of trying to make the rest of us deal with them forever.
Having a clear timeline for growth and advancement for the full team. It always feels like everything is in purgatory all the time

On a functional team, one in which other people could be relied upon to do *their* jobs, I would not be so constantly stressed. I'd sleep at night, focus more, and be even better at *my* job.
No fear of feedback. Discretion (instead of gossip).
