List is toi short. I’d add: Posture.

Everyone wants to be the benevolent manager, especially if there is enough money for everyone, and especially in these times where collaboration and positive management are touted. But you have to keep a carrot and a leash on the employees.

My first employees got a 33% raise the first year things were good. Long story short: None of them are here anymore and we’re still scrambling to recover from the mess they’ve created by being lazy.

Now people struggle to get a few percent salary increase. It eats me to my core, but I want them to get my product out.
