If you're a boss, you know that every day is a challenge to do better. This tip is based on the same research I used to develop my programs and the Working Supervisor's Support Kit .
If you mess up, fess up and fix it
When you're the boss it's easy to get away without having to go through the painful process of admitting you're wrong. It's easy to get by without fixing your mistakes. Resist those temptations.
If you mess up, fess up. Part of being human is making mistakes. It's also part of setting the example. After you 'fess up, fix it.
People will notice.
If you find these tips helpful, you should consider
purchasing my Working Supervisor's Support Kit.

Wally,
An excellent point, the leader is the role model, and we need to do as we would want others to.
In one of those ironies of life, people end up with much higher respect for you when you do this.

Thanks, David. That's a great little phrase: "We do what we need to do what we would want others to do."
