To me, the most important message that you can convey to your team is that you care about them and that you are willing to offer support and encouragement. I am thankful for my sponsor and the help that he is always willing to give and through his example, I have learned to succeed.
We all go through periods of discouragement but knowing that there is someone who has stuck it out and is successful helps you to say, " If he can do it, I can too! "
