Work continues at a nice pace, and the self-consciousness that defined most of the first few months is slowly dissolving. I realized that effective management isn't about the rigid adherance to policies, nor is it passive aggressive wrist-slapping, or even creating a tide of change. Some of these--in the right doses--are necessary elements, but managing is actually pretty simple: Just make sure your team is good.
Alright, what does that mean?
A good team is one that:
- Uses the right tools and resources
- Believes in the value of their work
- Trusts their leader to act as their advocate
That's it. Focusing on these three things has helped guide my decisions. My decisions should support these and cannot jeopardize or even compromise any one.
