In my career I have heard many managers and supervisors say, "...he/she works for me. That's not correct, they report to you, you all work for the same organization. Everyone in the organization as well as everyone on your staff has a certain responsibility; you have a responsibility at the top of your organizational chart and each of the people reporting to you have an important responsibility. Each staff member's efforts are important to the success of the organization. "Your people make you, you don't make your people." You will only be as successful as your people are. You are a resource person, your job is to make sure your people have what they need to be successful and you must provide an atmosphere where your people can become movitated to perform at top levels. You "take care of your people", they will "take care of your product."
