Learn to listen and focus on what they say. Ask questions to make sure that you understand well.
5. Stop complaining
If you continue to complain about your problems, you will feel even worse. Rather concentrate your efforts on how to solve them.
6. Stop controlling everybody
Even if you are the boss, you can fully control only yourself. An effort to achieve tight control over others will lead only to frustration and fear on both sides.
7. Stop criticizing everybody
Maybe you are more educated and have more experience but that does not make you better than your subordinates. Every person is different and you should learn to appreciate differences instead of criticizing them.
8. Stop preaching to others
For preaching, the same applies as for criticizing - do not judge others. Learn to listen more and both you and your people will be happier.
9. Stop constantly analyzing mistakes
Learn from your mistakes and from the mistakes of others and move on.
10. Stop being afraid
Do not wait with your ideas and dreams for "the right moment". No matter what you are planning, start doing it as soon as possible.
