one of the things I've always respected was a supervisor/manager who'd step up and help when things got rough. it's an instant ten points of respect.
Example: we just got a new mnager for our department. A lot of the guys bitch, because he tries to help, but he's inexperienced at the work (he came from food production. this is cabinetry). I keep trying to tell them, "this is the guy you want in your corner, even if he agrivates you. " The fact that he's slowing things down now by trying to learn just means he'll know what we're going through and be able to help more effectively in the future (besides, one of the guys all but actively sabotages productivity anyway, so I don't know what he's bitching about. Seriously, he spent an hour and a half one shift sleeping on a pile of doors >_># Wish I had the spine to say something to him, but because i don't, I have to just fume and try to do something productive around him)
It helps that I also just wanted to go home too, and if the work wasn't finished no one was leaving. So I had my own motivation to not skimp away for office bullshit and instead be working.
And a lot of people don't seem to grasp that you are training your management as much as they are training you. You need to foster in them what you want to see and benefit from, because it will pay off tenfold later. Too many people are willfully obstinate just because they hate authority or are too stubborn to understand they are making their own life harder by not working with their leadership.
