re: Tips on being a supervisor/manager/leader

you have to lead by example , with you being younger than your team it will be harder for you to earn their respect...

do not be a know it all militant type boss , get others input , make it about the team but at the same time demand a top notch brand of production...

let them know quality and production is the #1 goal but also be lenient in some other areas, make the job environment fun as long as the production is there...

remember employees want to feel that they are worth something , they want to feel good about the job they are doing and most of all they want to feel important...a complement goes a long way...

and if all else fails take off your belt and whip the shite out of your least productive employee in front of everyone , I mean whip him like hes a 10 year old you just caught smoking...
