And yes, sometimes you’ll even have to deal with reprimands. But fear not—the spotlight is on growth and development!

· Engagement: You’re the leader of your department in meeting goals! Prepare the agendas, facilitate, and let everyone hit their best participation. You need to encourage the “want to”.
