The people you lead need two things.
“A friend gave me the advice, your employees need two things from you. They need you to be clear, and they need you to be happy.”
Ina Garten on Good Hang with Amy Poehler
It’s not just employees; it’s ensemble members, it’s faculty, it’s members of any group you lead.
They need you to be clear because without clarity, they don’t know which direction to aim.
They need you to be happy because without your joy, they think you’re frustrated with them. And also because your joy is the baseline for the joy in the entire collaborative environment.
