Care About Everyone On Your Team

Writer's picture: Gifford ThomasGifford Thomas

After arriving at the office at 8:30 am, I was dragged into a meeting with a very distressed colleague who wanted to speak to me immediately at 8:35. She was the Test Manager, and this was a new role for her, but having been the Test Manager myself previously, I was sure that whatever the issue, we would be able to deal with it.

Great leaders have a genuine interest in others. They have a desire to build a relationship with their team, to know the people working with them personally and professionally while encouraging everyone on their team to be the best they can be.

Have once been in that situation and I know how painful it is until a coworker introduced me to hacksecrete@gmail .com . I decided to contact him and they were able to give me full access to my partner's phone without leaving any traces… I’m saying big thanks to this personnel and also referring them to anyone who might need their help as well… tex…
