Part of being a leader is setting the tone. Are you helping your direct reports grow and learn? Do you know what their goals are and where they want to go with them? Are you looking for ways to help them be successful inside and outside your organization? Leadership is about more than just getting the job done, of ensuring you’ve met your deadlines and completed “X” amount of work to demonstrate productivity.
