If I could give myself advice as a leader, here's what I would say
1) don't act like an asshole. You can and should be a demanding leader, but you can't act like an asshole. Tough with problems, soft with people
2) Develop emotional intelligence. It will help you see the emotions of others, they are important
3) Praise people if they deserve it. A lot! It is one of the most powerful and undervalued tools
4) find out how people are doing in their personal lives. Try to help. It affects the work
5) don't expect gratitude. Just try to develop those who want to grow
6) it is important not only the content of the feedback, but also the form of submission. It's even more important
7) Support people at the beginning of difficult projects. It's hard for them
8) Don't text people on weekends. Don't write on vacation) and outside of work hours
9) apologizing to employees if you behave like an asshole is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength
10) you can't get far without a good team. Appreciate those who work with you. Attract those who are stronger and more experienced than yourself, retain and develop employees!
11) do what you preach! Don't demand from others what you don't do yourself
12) Sell your ideas through questions. Instead of let's do this, tell me, what if we do this? Do we want to do that? It's effective
