Show your flaws

If you make a mistake or have made a mistake before, and it is relevant to a current
situation, then bring it up! This will show your staff you are just as vulnerable to mistakes
as they are. It will also demonstrate that you are not afraid to bring them up if you are
trying to make a point.

maybe it's a serious problem. Stop typing on the keyboard, turn around, and look at them
while they talk. They will appreciate it.
