Respect
"It doesn't matter if they like you, they just have to respect you."
Um....sure man.
But more than respect or like they need to care for you.
You read that right.
Care.
"Serious attention or consideration applied to doing something correctly or to avoid damage or risk"
The crew makes the officer.
If they don't care about your well being, well, good luck.
How to you get a crew to take care of you?
Take care of them.
Deflect the bad stuff, promote the good stuff.
Complaining at the kitchen table?
Stop it.
Assigned a hard job?
Do the hardest part.
Have a rough call?
Listen to them.
A good, hardworking crew, that cares about each other is magical to see.
But be warned, it ain't easy.
You have to put in the work.
Always forward, always moving.
