I know one thing you don't do, which is to put pressure or stress on people to produce outstanding work.
The best thing is to allow people to have a sense of freedom, to be open and produce whatever they want. I don't mean give them total freedom, because that in itself brings a lot of pressure. Some people work well when given carte blanche on a project, some (including myself) don't - I preferred to work within guidelines or some boundaries, which forces me be more focused and creative, and spend less (wasted) time trying to narrow down what the best solution or outcome would be.
It's also important, if you are in leadership to critique the work produced by others, so they learn and develop, to make better decisions, working practices, and ultimately better work.
- I was lucky to work under some great CD's who showed me what I was doing right or wrong. Which in turn I passed onto others.matski
