Your team is like reflection in a mirror. They will unknowingly copy your attitude, passion and productivity.

Be that guy/girl you’d follow, reflect on your decisions and actions.

Be a human and know your team

Don’t forget that your teammates are humans too 😉 They have good and bad moments in their life, which reflects in their work and productivity. Build the bridge of trust to talk openly. It will boost your relationship and make great impact on productivity. To know yourself and your team work on yours mindfulness and empathy. This skills matter!

Your job is to create open and healthy climate, where anyone is not afraid to ask questions, to take the initiative and responsibility for their actions.

Hold regular one-on-one, be sincere, fair and honest, learn to trust your team.

Know what business wants

As leader you should know what business needs. Know your users and stakeholders. You should make decisions on business needs but do not forget about your team. Try to find win-win solutions.

Always use product you build, the worst thing can happen is growing gap between your team and users.
