Administrative Leaders have access to a view of the office and/or
organization that no one else has. Step back and take a 10,000-foot
view of the personalities and relationships in your team and

Praise – A close friend shared a story of when her
daughter was playing on a soccer team that just could not win a
game. She saw the disappointment and lack of enthusiasm take
their toll on her little girl and the team. As a leader at work, my friend
used her talent of giving praise to each of the players by standing on
the opposite side of the field calling out the player’s name when they
were near. Praise is an incredible attitude and morale booster. She
said the positive effect of calling out names combined with
appreciative words of the teammate immediately motivated them to
play harder, and eventually the team won a few games.
