    One thing to help your staff be more efficient is proper training. It's a shame how many people are "thrown to the fire" with minimal training. This causes a huge riff in timely completion of goals, instead of working, workers are twiddling their thums because they have no dirextion. Also, be knowledgeable in the positions you're overseeing. A team is only as good as their leader. If their leader doesn't have a clue on what tasks need to be completed, the staff isn't going to get them accomplished effectively.

    A strong support team isn’t just about assigning tasks—it’s about setting people up for success. 1. Set clear expectations – No one likes a guessing game. I make sure goals are clear, measurable, and tied to the bigger picture. 2. Give the right tools & trust – Training, efficient processes, and open support empower my team to work confidently and take ownership. 3. Keep communication real – Regular check-ins help catch small issues before they become bigger challenges, creating a proactive and engaged team. When people feel valued and supported, performance naturally improves.
