It is important that you know which projects are taking place, who is responsible for what, and the ongoing status of each project.  The easiest way to monitor this is by keeping a log.  At a glance you will have critical information and can follow-up accordingly.  You can also ensure that team members are assigned work equally.

Don’t get sucked into solving every problem a team member brings to you.  Instead, ask them to bring ideas for solving the problem.  Teach them and even require them to become problem solvers.  Provide them with plenty of feedback and encouragement.

Never assign a project and forget about it until the deadline.   Always communicate with your team members and don’t forget to listen.  Check in periodically to ensure the project is headed in the right direction.

Does your team have the necessary resources needed to successfully complete the project?  Resources include time, equipment, supplies, space, money, and manpower.  Set your team up to win.  Provide them with the necessary resources.

Once the project is completed, gather the team together for a moment to celebrate the success of the project.  Demonstrate to them how their work has affected the company, department, or organization.  Discuss particular challenges faced during the course of the project and review the solutions used to overcome them.  Recognize the team members for a job well done!
