Make sure your team knows you appreciate their contributions
Make sure that you mention the great team you have when you get positive feedback or success. “Thanks! I’m fortunate to have such talented people in my department. I’m really proud of their work.”
Your team members will feel valued and respected.
Your complimenter will recognize that you are a team player and a fair boss.
It increases other people’s respect and trust for you.
And you don’t look like a jerk. Win-win all around!
