Re: How do I become a better leader?
Be flexible in your leadership style. Some people require constant hand-holding to get anything done, while others chafe under micromanagment and become resentful - of course, you have to know them well to know the difference. This requires face time, which is, unfortunately, hard for introverts. Make a schedule if you need to, like "spend five minutes catching up with the junior staff a week, ten minutes with the senior staff". If there's an area that needs improvement, say so, but - and this is where most managers fall down - if there's an area they are doing very well in say so.
Be consistent and fair in your decision making. This is really, really difficult because everybody has favourite employees and not-so favourite employees, but if you start giving the not-so favourites the short shrift even when they've done better, or give the favourites things they deserve, everybody catches on quickly and loses respect for you.
Everyone fucking hates meetings. If you must have meetings, make sure they're short and to the point.
Demonstrate why you're the one in charge. This is especially important if you're younger than the people you're leading. If there's client who's been a colossal asshole, or a disastrous cockup that no one else wants to touch with a ten foot pole, or an extremely difficult problem with very little reward, handle it personally. Show them you're willing to take on extra responsibilities along with your extra rights and privileges, and make sure they know you're doing it.
If you're low-management, run interference between the higher ups and the people under you when either party is upset with the other. If you're higher management, foster a reputation of being fair-minded so that both lower management and employees feel comfortable coming to you as mediator if they have a problem.
