Respect and result, is the key. Will help reduce stress. Help achieve goal.

Smile, care personally - even when you challenge.

Be Competent, Friendly and Smart.

What do people want most from their leader - being treated with respect. More important than appreciation and feedback.

Thank people, share credit, acknowledge others, listen attentively, humbly asking question, and smiling has an impact.

When you are withing 10 feet away from people smile and make eye contact; when you are withing 5 feet away, say hello.

Be Tough minded, but tender hearted. Make people feel valued. Be agile and mindful.
