just because you're giving people orders doesn't mean you have to be a jerk about it. if you're in charge of people, though, you're going to have to get comfortable with the idea of delegating responsibility - or else whoever's in charge of you will start looking for somebody who can do the job.

get used to the phrase "i need."

instead of "do this" and "do that," say, "bob, i need you to do such and such by so and so or else accounting will tear me a new colonic aperture."

make sure that they know that they are keeping you out of trouble by doing what you tell them. that saves alot of energy and maintains a more harmonious organization. foster the feeling of being a team, protecting each other against the harsh, merciless realities of life.

then take everybody out for drinks once a month.
