Article - A Guide for Younger Bosses

Here is another article from the Harvard Business Review Blog Network.

A few points made in the article:

•  You need to give vision, objectives
•  Give wide freedom to employees to define operating details - best way to get optimal performance.
• Make it a point that you work hard & long  (not sure I agree with some of the author's suggestions in this topic: like sending meeting invites for weekends and after hours.  While I think it is good to show you are a hard worker and care, these suggestions can put undue stress on employees.  Overtime employees may come to resent and feel like it is mandatory to work insane hours - I already feel like employees need better work/life balance at my company).  What would you suggest on this topic?
•  Keep Cool under pressure
• Seek opinions and feedback, even on cross-functional department items.
