In journalism, this is almost the same as demanding the impossible. But if you lose your temper too often, you will lose more than just your presence of mind. First, you will lose control - both over yourself and over others, when they begin to question whether you are fit for work if it affects you so badly. Secondly, you will lose the good atmosphere that you yourself created in the editorial office. Fixing all this won't be easy. In addition, frequent outbursts of emotion usually have a weaker effect each time, and in the end they become simply comical. The day the editor of the Observer threw his typewriter out of the (fortunately open) window was perhaps the day when his angry outbursts became less and less taken into account. And most importantly: if you think you can achieve the best results by screaming, join the army.

13. Praise in public, criticize privately.

Journalists are more sensitive than they appear. But even if this were not the case, it is still a good rule. Your cry of admiration for someone's excellent work in a crowded room means surprisingly a lot to the recipient. Every person, whether he admits it or not, loves praise, which is valued even more if there are witnesses. Likewise, grumbling about someone in front of others will humiliate the person and will very likely lead to a public, probably lengthy, speech in defense of one's work. You should criticize an employee face to face, where he is more likely to listen to you and appreciate your sensitivity.

14. Send notes of praise.

A word of praise means a lot, but a reminder of this incident means much more. It takes almost no time to take a piece of paper and write: “Thank you for the work you did on yesterday’s material. It would be nice to have more articles like this in the newspaper.” This note will encourage the recipient, and he will almost certainly keep it - well, at least until the day when he has to keep his job or look for a new one.

15. Get your subordinates to understand the culture of decisions.

In most newspapers around the world, the editor-in-chief's decision (or non-decision) is final. The editor may listen to advice, discuss major decisions with the entire editorial board, and so on, but in the end, the newspaper is a dictatorship. And the editors and department heads, to whom this power is delegated in many cases, are also dictators in their department. If the editor wants an article to be done in such and such a way (or vice versa), it should be done in such and such a way. Argue with the editor, shout, stomp your feet, shed tears, threaten to leave, but in the end, if the editor remains deaf to admonitions, fulfill his wishes. Otherwise, what's the point of having an editor? Whether your newspaper's decision-making culture is the same as described here, or something else, all employees need to understand it. This will save you a lot of time and unnecessary scolding.

16. Keep secrets.

If you are responsible for something, you will definitely learn a lot of secrets - perhaps from the editor, but more often from colleagues. During the years that I headed various departments of various newspapers, my employees told me about their financial problems at home, family problems, problems with children and even sexual problems. Twice people told me that they had been diagnosed with an incurable disease. People say these things to you, their boss, because they trust you. Tell someone else about this - trust will be lost instantly.

17. Make sure employees have an easy job.

If employees find it easy and pleasant to work with, this will be reflected in the newspaper - as well as the opposite. This does not mean that every working day should end with a party in the editorial office. This means the following:

A. Do not allow laughter to be heard rarely in the editorial office.

B. Be as flexible as possible with your employees' work schedules. Meet them halfway, and then, most likely, they will answer you in kind.

C. Constantly think about which employees are best suited for what job, and make sure that they perform those tasks that suit them best.

The public mission of any good newspaper is partly to give shelter and a home to as many eccentric people as possible on their payroll.

Lord Thomson, owner of The Times and Sunday Times
