in order for you to have any credibility as a manager and leader. If you are dishonest or you lack integrity then one day your actions will catch up with you and you will fail in your efforts to be a great manager.

5-Authenticity- You must be real and act like yourself. No one wants to follow a leader who is trying to be like someone else. Be real and act like you. You are great.

6-Be a reader. Readers are leaders and leaders are readers. Be always reading self- development books and magazines. Seek to improve yourself.

7-Be humble. No one likes a prideful manager. Be willing to change when needed and be open to receiving feedback in regards to anything that may need to be changed.

8-Give Service. What goes around, comes around. If you serve others then others will want and be willing to serve you. They will also view you as kind and will be more likely to follow your requests and to help you out.

9-Be teachable. Be willing to listen to the advice and experiences of others. Always be learning and practicing new ideas, concepts and methods.

10-Take inventory of how you are doing as a manager. Every once and a while rate yourself on how you are doing and on how those you lead and manage are doing under your leadership. Is there something you need to change? If you aren't sure about it, try asking others for their help in evaluating you and your habits and behaviors.
