Do As You Say
I want my employees to do what I say, not what they think. As a manager I don’t have the time to keep repeating instructions. I believe too much is lost by allowing employees to disregard special instructions because they think they have a better way. I don’t want them to try to shade what has to be done. They can view me any way they want on their own time, but when they’re on my clock, I want them to take my word as an absolute decree. If they do what I say, they can go home happy and job secure.
