Pauly D. Leadership 101

Kevin and I have been watching the Pauly D. Project TV show on Hulu lately.

The show is not only extremely entertaining, but it is also wildly insightful. I would love to sit down one day and write a case study on leadership and the Pauly D. Project. Oh, to have more spare time on my hands!

A couple tidbits from conversations Kevin and I have had regarding good leadership and how terrific of a leader Pauly D. is:

1. Pick the people you trust to be on your team and it will be an effective one.

2. Respect the boundaries of your employees. Sometimes people need space to recharge.

3. Affirm your employees when they do a great job and they will continue to do so.

4. Address issues as soon as they arise in a manor that is not too aggressive. Pauly took an employee that was acting up out to lunch and talked casually about how the issue was hurting the group. He offered actionable strategies to help end the negative behavior.

5. Remind your employees why their job is important to the team as a whole.

6. Celebrate with your employees when good things happen in their personal lives.

7. Practice and be good at your job, so that your employees respect the person they are working for.

8. Stay humble.

9. Promote team building exercises. :)

10. Be positive!
