A noobie Engineer at work mentioned, “In my experience”.
I promptly informed him that he had none and I didn’t want to hear him spout those words again.
I am the manager of my department and I have a simple policy. Everything is done MY way. I don’t give a damn how you did it at XYZ, Inc. We do it THIS way here. Like it or leave. Buck me and you will simply leave.
I have the experience and I ain’t going to retire anytime soon.
lol, I think we must have graduated from the same management school.
Ditto!
I try to give them some reign but when I do most of them screw it up.
They often times grossly confuse energetic activity with progress. Flailing the air comes to mind.
Going slow, making a strategic plan with a few options and then executing it tactically while remaining focused on the strategic objective seems to be an unlearned skill or aptitude.
One other question that seems to have missed their tool box is: WHY? As in, Why are we doing this? What is the objective?
