People Management ...

Been a team lead for several months now. It has been really hard for me to lead a group of people, more so because these people have their individuality intact and honestly, I am not a people-person. But thank goodness I have a supervisor who cares enough to show me by not leading but making me understand that there is "No Free Lunch". He said that respect is given because it is deserved and NOT COMMANDED by any position or by the bearer. He has only one rule:

SET AN EXAMPLE AND YOUR SUBORDINATES WILL FOLLOW...

Which actually makes sense. Why? Go figure...
