Being an effective leader means realizing where you excel and where you could use improvement. For instance, you could be excellent at pushing deadlines and motivating employees, but poor at strategic planning. Make a concerted effort each day to work on the things that you are weak on.  Talk to your team managers to get an honest evaluation of your leadership. They may see problems in your style that you're unaware of. This is known as participative feedback.  Put the feedback into action. For instance, if your weakness is organizing, take at least an hour each day to organize your space. If your project is falling behind or your team is failing, you must take a step back, and self-assesses if you're a good leader. Being the leader does not mean that all the members will immediately like or respect you. Many times you must gain their trust and admiration with your knowledge, experience, and ability to settle conflict within the team. Get respect from your team members by showing your value and expertise. Resolve issues quickly and be knowledgeable in all aspects of what the team is doing.  A good leader will help fill in the gaps when the team is running behind. Be sure to set the example on the team. If you have bad habits, chances are your team will replicate your behavior. As the leader of the team, you'll need to communicate to each member efficiently and clearly. Encourage transparency so that your team members tell the truth, then partake in active listening. Stop and actually listen to what team members have to say. They could be pointing out something that you've missed or they could shed light on things from their perspective.  Talk to your team members and keep regular communication with them. Reflect on what they say, and think of solutions to their concerns or comments. Alternatively, stay silent and listen to what your team has to say. They may end up revealing more than they intended about their feelings. Get to know members' habits and tendencies so that you can use it to the team's advantage. This may also help you guide their development. Drive your team towards success by giving them the encouragement that they need to do well. Motivation can come in the form of being inspired by your abilities, or by being rewarded for good work. Lead by example and show them that you're a capable leader who cares about them. Figure out what team members value the most and use it to motivate them.  You can encourage someone by saying something like, "You did a great job blocking that game Darius. Keep up the good work, I'm seeing some serious improvement!" Some team members want positive reinforcement while others prefer monetary incentives. Your team must know what's expected of them to stay productive and work towards an end goal. Before you allow your team to start working or practicing, sit each team member down and tell them what you expect from them. You will also need to set the expectation for behavior and values within the team. For instance, if you're leading a sales team, you can say: "We want to make sales and meet our quotas, but we also need to maintain integrity. Never lie or mislead customers, rather, persuade them towards making a purchase."

Most modern TVs have at least one full-size (Type A) HDMI port, which is 13.9 mm x 4.45 mm in size. These ports are usually labeled "HDMI." If there is more than one port, each will be labeled with a number (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2). Some TVs also have HDMI ports on the front or side panel. If the device has the same size HDMI port as your TV (Type A/13.99 mm x 4.45 mm), you'll just need a standard Type-A HDMI cable, which has the same 19-pin connector on both sides. However, some devices (often cameras and portable media players) have smaller HDMI ports, which means you'll need a different type of cable:    Type C/Mini-HDMI: This type of HDMI port is often found on somewhat older DSLR cameras and camcorders. The dimensions are 10.42 mm x 2.42 mm, which is a lot smaller than Type A. If your device has this port, you'll need a Mini-HDMI-C to HDMI-A cable.  Type D/Micro-HDMI: Even smaller than the Type C, this 6.4 mm x 2.8 mm port is commonly found on small recording devices such as the GoPro and some smartphones. You'll need a Micro HDMI-D to HDMI-A cable in this situation. Turn on the device you want to connect to the TV, and then gently insert the matching end of the cable into its HDMI port. You should only be able to insert the HDMI plug into the port in one direction. Never force the cable plug into the port since doing so could damage both the cord and the device. Turn on the TV if you haven't already done so, and then connect the cable securely. If your TV has multiple HDMI ports, take note of the HDMI port number you're using. Use the SOURCE or INPUT button on your TV or remote to select the HDMI port. You'll usually have to press it a few times until you reach the right port number. Once you reach the correct source, you should see the device's image on the screen.  If you're using Windows, press ⊞ Win+P to open the Windows Project panel, and then select an option for displaying the screen on the TV. If you want to mirror the desktop, for example, select Duplicate. If you have a Mac, the screen should automatically be mirrored on the TV. If the dimensions look funny, navigate to Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays > Display and select Default for display. If you need to enter a specific resolution, chose Scaled instead and enter that resolution now. If you've connected a computer to the TV and want to make sure the audio comes through the TV's speakers, follow these steps:   Mac: Navigate to Apple menu > System Preferences > Sound > Output and select your TV or HDMI output.  Windows: Right-click the volume icon in the system tray (next to the clock), select Sound Settings, and select your computer's default audio device, often called Speakers (High Definition Audio), from the "Choose your output device" menu.
