This is an excellent blog post by Art Nathan, a veteran Human Resources Professional that I read this morning on "Smart Blog for Leadership".

Good advice for all those in leadership positions. I am very fortunate to have a great team that I work with.

1. Clearly define your vision
2. Give employees what they want and need
3. Communicate often and well
4. Get everyone engaged
5. Stay the course
6. Practice random acts of kindness
7. Coach for success
8. Act fairly
9. Inspect what you expect
10. Give respect and create trust
11. Don't be a jerk
12. Make work fun
