What we say	What you should say
They’re a bunch of lazy slackers	You’re empowered to get it done your way
We already tried that in 1982	We’re always open to new ideas
They have to learn to pay their dues	We reward effort and results
Because I’m the boss that’s why	There aren’t a lot of rules around here
Your wage is your thank you	We’re not very corporate
Work on it over the weekend	A satisfied team member is a successful one

The ideal manager:

Relatability

Accessibility

Flexibility

Transparency

Socially

3 questions for effective communication

What do I want them to Know?

What do I want them to do?

What do I want them to feel?
