Do you ever have those days at your job when everything just seems pointless? It is the same old thing day in and day out, and you wonder why you are doing what you are doing for a living.

Have discussions on policies and rules with the staff. Be open minded to any feedback they might have as well. Listen to ideas of the employees. Basically, be a team with them, and not above them.
