2) Have a clear vision of where you're going.
I would add Jack's 2c : Establish a fair system - In a fair system, everyone knows where she stands and what she can do to improve. Metrics are the key. When you're in school, you have your GPA. But, how do you measure social success? What is a person's social GPA? Then, after school, what is your GPA? Salary? Maybe that's why recruiters want to know what your salary is.
Another good quote from Lou (paraphrasing someone else) : Work on your department, not in it. That's management - game plan and team building is management. How many times have you seen this being violated? The manager has to get in the lab and show the guy how to do something? Coaching is one thing - you have a training session where you point out common mistakes and ways to work smarter. Fixing problems on a live project is not coaching and it's not managing.
