Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Mary Elston

“Management is like dating. When taking on a new team, try to avoid making snap judgements. Give your team a chance to get to know and trust you; just as you have to give yourself a chance to get to know and trust them.”

“Always strive to manage with integrity and professionalism, but don’t think this means everyone will like you. They won’t. Even though you’re a leader you’re still human. You will make mistakes and being human, there will always be someone who doesn’t like you or appreciate you; no matter how fair you are, how much you help them, or how great a leader you become.”

“Just as you may remember a great teacher you had growing up, you probably also remember a great manager or boss you may have had. We remember them because they are rare and because they helped make a difference in our careers, our lives, and how we looked at our work. That’s what “make a difference” management is all about.”
