As the owner , business leader , manager etc I have a level of expectation and goals for the whole picture.
The overall direction is determined by where, what, why we do what we do. You have to have a purpose and that purpose is the direction you set.
I have a tier set of goals and expectation s for each type of employee.
labor, apprentice, 1,2,4,6,8 year levels . If i can let go and trust you will complete the task with in the expected level , then I will do so. if not then the reigns are on.
Trust is earned , Not Given

Pt. being that everyone has a value and that not always in the field you are working.
Key is to find that niche that you fit into and do it well. or change often until you do.
When the other s are at the door to replace you in a heartbeat. You have to protect your investment. Your employees who understand the Team approach and have a stake in the game.
Commitment,Trust,Reliability when no one is watching
