I tell people they have to do two things. They have to care, and they have to try. If they do both of those, the rest falls into place.
I make myself available for questions and treat people well when they come to me to learn. Unless they keep asking the same question as if I didn't already answer it...that'll get a "I don't know how many times you want me to say it".
I listen to my subordinates and sometimes learn new ways from them. If they find a way that's better, I start doing it. I tell people I don't care about doing things my way...I care about doing things the best way. It just so happens that that's usually my way, because I'm constantly trying to update and improve.
I make sure that my employees can win. I do have a competitive and trollish streak, and I can outthink pretty much everybody I work with. If I don't keep a handle on it, I turn into a cleverness bully. So when I banter with them, I make sure to be completely destroyed if they get a good dig on me. When I stop them in the middle of a mistake, I try to be as positive as possible, like telling them it was a good idea and good thinking, it just doesn't work in reality. Or I emphasize that everybody makes that same mistake when they're new and everybody has to be trained about it.
On the other hand, I can be grumpy and impatient. I struggle with having unrealistic expectations of people. I flash into anger too quickly sometimes. I'm forgetful and disorganized. I get boggled in mid-sentence and repeat myself too much. And I like Garfield.
