1. Give teams problems to solve, not tasks to do
Set goals and let the team discover how to best achieve them. Hold them accountable only for the outcomes.
In the case of OKRs, ask your teams to propose KRs. This will build a stronger commitment and a sense of ownership.

2. Show trust instead of exercising control
This may seem difficult at first. As a rule of thumb, you should delegate and trust more than you feel comfortable with.
Make sure you provide people with context to enable better, informed decisions.

3. Let others work however they need to
The people closest to the problem and the technology know what they need to do their work.
Do everything possible to let them use any tools, frameworks, or methods they need.

4. Encourage experimentation and learning from mistakes
It's impossible to construct detailed plans in complex environments. Accept that sometimes goals will not be achieved.
Embrace taking calculated risks. Encourage experimentation and learning from mistakes

5. Become a product evangelist
Communicate vision and strategy regularly so that others can believe in the mission and trust they are going in the right direction. You can do it on every occasion.
This may seem excessive at times, but from my experience, it is essential.

6. Show vulnerability and listen
Feel good about not being the smartest person in the room. Listen carefully. Make sure people feel valued by being in the room with you.
Acknowledge your weaknesses and limitations. Being yourself is one of the best ways to build trust.
