Help your team by clearing their path to success

I could not agree more with the content of this article. In summary Managers should check this list as a reminder:

5 Diagnostic Questions to Remind You of Your Need to Clear the Path:
1. Have I shared my priorities from my boss with the team and asked for their input on how to meet those priorities?
2. Am I avoiding the tendency to ask my team to more with less in the name of productivity?
3. Am I working with team members to identify and eliminate non-value-add activities, including excessive status reporting, unnecessary meetings and low-priority project commitments?
4. Am I genuine in my efforts to secure added resources where needed to meet our priorities?
5. Am I providing ample visibility and kudos to the team members helping move the needle on our key priorities?
