Walk Before You Run

The old saying that practice makes perfect never applied more than it does to being a good manager. Constant growth and training is critical to your success as a manager, a parent and overall a human. People have hearts, souls and deep emotions. Manipulation of your employees will certainly yield you a reaction, perhaps a reaction toward the goal you had in mind, but the long term goal you wish to achieve; a quality work force that is responsive and self sufficient will only come from the environment you create, the training you put forward and respect you have earned as a manager.
