The best managers have a few things in common. They're confident; they possess great leadership skills;
they're active listeners; and they respect others.

They micromanage. "Nobody likes to be micromanaged," White says. So, be a leader; someone that your
employees admire and want to work hard for not a micromanager. "Do this by leading by example with your

They create office politics. White says his former manager pitted his people against one another. He'd tell
one person one thing that someone said, and then would tell the other person the same thing. "Office politics
kill morale and as the manager you should be doing things to prevent it, not perpetuate it. Don't be vindictive,"
White says. To keep your employees around, you'll want to create a positive environment where people enjoy
working.
