Anybody out there leading people?
Here's a sure-fire way to guarantee that you will be enshrined in the Bimbo Manager Hall-of-Fame:
- Only hire low-achieving, mediocre people.
- Put the wrong people in the wrong job. Weed out the right people.
- Fail to tell the people what needs to be done.
- Fail to tell the people why it is needed.
- Instead of leaving the job up to the people you've chosen to do it, make sure you get in their way.
- Do not train the people.
- Do not listen to the people.
- Do not remove frustration and barriers that fetter the people.
- Do not inspect progress.
- Never say "thank you" publicly. Never say "thank you" privately.
