How do we keep our workplaces drama free?

Pray for good team members. Let God guide you.
Make sure your teams shares your passion and your vision.
Let others know what to expect.
Let others know what to expect
Be open to input
Require co-workers to sign a nondisclosure- This lets people know you are serious
Make your expectations clear from the beginning
Break up your workload
Don’t be authoritarian
Keep your team briefed so they know what is going on. Have a team schedule
Remember it is not always someone else’s fault, things happen
Be polite when problems come up
Be willing to negotiate assigned tasks if you are able

Take good care of yourself as well:

Keep office hours that you don’t work outside of
Establish a routine for yourself you keep
Felice is done by 3:00, then works out, showers, and reads
Everyone should block out reading time
Never lose your zeal
Life is too short to get upset over a deal that won’t work out. If it doesn’t match your mission, disengage, even if you lose money on it.
Don’t put people in a box
Live as the light
Set parameters
Be the bigger person
Appreciate your team
Family is about team work
