MARK ZWEIG, from page 1

appreciation, it goes a really long way. Even if you show appreciation for someone who is just doing the job they are paid to do it will help you when it comes to getting them to do what you want/need them to do. 4)Don’t be a jerk to anyone else. Everyone hates to see someone get abused or nastily dressed-down. Even if you never do it to them personally, their fear is you will some- day IF people see you do it to anyone else. So be careful! Watch what you say and don’t give anyone a reason to not like you. Because if they don’t like you, odds are they will NOT be doing what you want them to do – at least not the way you want it done on the schedule you want it done on. 5)Be careful of making too many requests. One reason (not the only reason, but one reason), you could be the boss and the others aren’t is because you can multi-task and juggle your priorities. What I have discovered over a long time of working in this busi- ness is not everyone can. So if you bury them with too many requests at one time, some get ignored or forgotten. It’s not deliberate or malicious on their end. It’s just the reality of how they are wired. They forget stuff. So make them write it down – or put it in writ- ing yourself. There’s a lot to this leadership stuff. The sad reality for a lot of us is this: Just when we have finally learned all the lessons we really need to know, it’s time to retire. Or at least the younger people we work with think so! MARK ZWEIG is Zweig Group’s chairman and founder. Contact him at mzweig@zweiggroup.com.
