Don’t be a boss, be a mentor: One of the reasons why your employees chose a role at your company is because they believe in the brand, and by extension, the person running things.
So, rather than focus on enforcing the trust and respect of your teammates, get to a level where they aspire to be like you because of your zeal for the job and excellent people skills.
Be a listener: One of the skills of being an outstanding team lead is to be a good listener. Listening to your teammates affords you a wide grasp of the nitty-gritty happening within your organization, and helps you to make well-thought-of decisions.
