Remember that you are a part of the team and not above your co-workers. Listen to input from your team and communicate properly, be open to being corrected and be willing to let other people have the answers when you don’t, and make sure they get the credit for their work and ideas. Most importantly, work with your team, you’re not there to tell people to get things done, you’re there to get things done with them. Get in there and get your hands dirty.
Let people know when they’ve done a good job. Don’t brown nose or make a big deal out of it, you don’t need to throw a pizza party or celebrate, but a, “Hey, great job, you fuckin’ killed it,” when it’s earned can go a long way for basic morale, and morale dictates more than anything else on a team.
