The best thing you can do as a leader is understanding what makes each individual person tick and what their strengths and weaknesses are, and then help capitalize on the strengths and then help them build on their weaknesses.

I tell them about myself, get to know them a little bit, and then kind of what motivates them. And I think that's helpful as you're coaching and moving along.
