Communicate clearly with your staff. I you baby sit them they tend to be too cautious. Mistakes will be made, real leadership should reward those who make mistakes, then using their mistakes as a learning tool. The most dangerous words to a corporation "We've always done it this way." Look to the innovators who have the courage to defend their ideas.

I can't recall a stressful day. Busy yes! Never streeful
Established a Leadership program followed by Management and Sales programs and seminars for the original employees at start up. We create a mind-set of company loyalty with an emphasis on personal integrity. Latin America has been invaded by a false sense of accountability only to self, with an emphasis on "if I don't get what I want, I have a right to take advantage of any opportunity be it moral or not."
