As a team leader, you are the one who needs to set an example for other team members. People look up to you, and expect you to come up with solutions, and do things the right way.

Listen to your team members<\/h3>\n

There is no better way to build trust than listening and showing that you actually care.

Encourage your people to tell you their problems by showing that you are on their side, and ready to give a helping hand. <\/p>\n
