Andrew S. Grove wrote a book called High Output Management. While you might not necessarily engage in all the activities he describes, it's his attitude and approach to management that feels timeless. Each person on your team is an individual with their own aspirations that you may or may not be able to help them fulfill, but you can acknowledge and respect them. Expect the best and learn that you can be firm on deadlines and requirements without being a terrible person. Think about why people leave their jobs (they have a problem with their boss) and don't be that person. Constantly level up your own expertise so that people will respect and trust you. As I mentioned, entire books have been written and being well read will help find what is natural for you and shape your success in the future.

Great, I'm going to read a book. Recognizing and respecting them is the best way to do this, it really is an art of motivating team members.
