You are in a posi­tion of lead­er­ship and guid­ance, and the more pos­i­tive and prin­ci­pled your lead­er­ship, the bet­ter your employ­ees’ pro­duc­tiv­ity and atti­tudes will be. Your team mem­bers will truly appre­ci­ate your coach­ing if they know that you believe in them and that you look for the pos­i­tive aspects of their per­for­mance. One way to con­vey this to your team is to expect the best by trust­ing them (and let them know it) until you’re given a clear, def­i­nite rea­son not to.
