As basic principles of leadership then not a bad place to start -

1. Know yourself and seek self improvement.
2. Be technically and tactically proficient.
3. Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions.
4. Make sound and timely decisions.
5. Set the example.
...

6. Know your people and look out for their well being.
7. Keep your people informed.
8. Develop a sense of responsibility in your subordinates.
9. Insure the task is understood, supervised and accomplished.
10. Train your people as a team.
...

11. Employ your team in accordance with its strengths and capabilities.

X : Is that from Harvard Business Review?
Me : No, apparently it's from the plebe handbook for cadets at West Point - andersonleadershipsolutions.com/west-points-el… (see @0xCMP)

Oh, I like the anti-pattern by @eastmad ...

1. Make sure everyone knows the price of failure. Let rumours spread of workers who just disappeared after using emacs without authorisation.

2. Place motivational posters all over the workplace.
