Being A Public Works Role Model
What is a role model?
A role model is someone who serves as an example. They exemplify professional behavior and image. They recognize that what they say and do is imitated by others.
Steps to becoming a better role model
There are a number of different ways that managers can set the right example for their employees:
Treat your employees with respect. Tell them you appreciate their efforts and hard work.
Provide honest and descriptive feedback to help your employees improve or sustain their performance; encourage feedback from them as well.
Keep commitments. Never promise to do something that you cannot deliver.
