I’ve often repeated the mantra that this business is all about people, in fact many people trot that line out at regular intervals but there is a huge difference between talking the talk and actually walking the walk. For me getting the best out of people is all about allowing them to find their own way of doing things (within a frame work of cultural values and standard operating procedures) and helping them to become better versions of themselves. I have never expected people who work for me to be mini versions of myself (which is just as well really as having one of me around is more than enough) although I do try and show people things that have worked for me in the past.
