How do we keep our workplaces drama free?

* Pray for good team members. Let God guide you.
* Make sure your teams shares your passion and your vision.
* Let others know what to expect.
* Let others know what to expect
* Be open to input
* Require co-workers to sign a nondisclosure- This lets people know you are serious
* Make your expectations clear from the beginning
* Break up your workload
* Don’t be authoritarian
* Keep your team briefed so they know what is going on. Have a team schedule
* Remember it is not always someone else’s fault, things happen
* Be polite when problems come up
* Be willing to negotiate assigned tasks if you are able

 

Take good care of yourself as well:

* Keep office hours that you don’t work outside of
* Establish a routine for yourself you keep
* Felice is done by 3:00, then works out, showers, and reads
* Everyone should block out reading time
* Never lose your zeal
* Life is too short to get upset over a deal that won’t work out. If it doesn’t match your mission, disengage, even if you lose money on it.
* Don’t put people in a box
* Live as the light
* Set parameters
* Be the bigger person
* Appreciate your team
* Family is about team work
