Maintaining open channels of communication with your team members is essential if you want to be the most successful manager you can be. Consider the employee's distinct viewpoint while expressing your expectations, and encourage them to ask questions or raise issues in a direct manner. You should set an example for your staff if you want them to grow in their understanding of technology, business, and certifications. Your perseverance and commitment to learning new things and improving yourself will be admired by your coworkers.
