them as needed.This will let your team
members know that you are present and
aware of what they are working on.

important things a leader can do. It will ease tensions and conflict,
create trust, and improve effectiveness.

as a leader, even if one chose another path.

respectful relationships among many different
groups. Collaborating across boundaries is a key leadership skill.

leaders keep biases and unfairness out of the
window and create a culture that does not promote
or acknowledge this attitude.

organization's processes. They acknowledge the
good and always make room for everyone to thrive
together.

been achieved with an attitude that is unfair and
biased. Even if it does, the sustainability of the
outcome is always questionable.
