I need to be careful of sharing too much personal information with staff

Some employees can perceive me as a know it all and it contributes to arguments

My nonverbal communication can appear as threatening to some

I can let humor go too far on occasions

I learned I can come across too strong for some of my employees

Sometimes I don't see how my words impact my staff

Some of my humor is inappropriate for the workplaceand I need to be the role model.

Not listening to my employees can contribute to them having a negative perception of me

Sometimes I use humor at inappropriate times

I can let emotions get the best of me - that needs to change

I recognize that I can come across as aloof to some of my employees

I need to be more careful with the stories and jokes I like to tell

Some employees may feel that I talk "at" them and not "with" them

I learned I don't read people very well…need to pay more attention to facial expressions.

I need to deal with my employees in private and not in front of others

Sometimes I open my mouth and my brain stops. I just need to think more.

I recognized I may be too concerned with what other people think

Employees may interpret my assertive behavior as aggressive

I need to stop over-reacting when I get mad or upset

I need to be more aware of my non-verbal cues - they can come across as aggressive

Sometimes my personality can come across as polarizingto people

Reading the room better - "know your audience" is critical whenit comes to not offending people

"Treat others like they want to be treated"…not using yourself as the metric is a good idea

I going to impelment a "2 second" rule before I speak

Saying "we & I" is less intimidating than starting a sentence with "you."
