[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a fed supervisor and a woman and get great feedback. Give direction, meet them where they are, let them show and grow their strengths, praise the team always, have their back no matter what. I build the team so I am comfortable with this last one. Meet with them frequently offer yourself as a resource ask them what they want from their job and how they want to grow. Keep calm and shield them from the political BS - it’s your job to manage that. Treat them how you would want to be treated. For those that offer it, ask them about their personal lives, they are humans in a tough environment. Just writing and asking this tells me you’re on the right path! [/quote]

This is great advice. I'll add - be clear about what you want so people can do what you want. Being new is a great time to set really clear expectations like "here is how I like to receive information" or "these are the things I need to approve and these are the things you can just take care of". People appreciate not having to guess.

Because it can be hard to reward good work with bonuses in government, ask people what kind of awards they prefer. Some people like time off, some people are looking for the next opportunity and want a detail or introduction, some people love (or hate) a formal award presentation. [/quote]
