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 .

Decisions are Precedents

Every decision you make sets a precedent that your team members will compare with your future decisions. Think about that before you decide, not after.

There are two kinds of decisions as precedent. Some decisions are the same as you would make in any case. No problem there.

Other decisions are exceptions. Before you decide, make sure you're able explain to an intelligent 15-year-old why the exception is justified. If you can't, it probably isn't.

Remember, your team members expect you to be consistent and fair. And they have long memories.

If you find these tips helpful, you should consider purchasing my Working Supervisor's Support Kit.
