Not everything has to be done your way to be the right way. Sometimes, however, employees will indeed make what turns out to be a wrong decision. They spend time with the employee learning why a decision was wrong and how to avoid it the next time rather than rehashing the history and looking for blame. And they lighten up. Hey, we've all made a lot of wrong decisions.
Many bosses dole out information as infrequently as bonuses.
As a result, employees often don't have enough data to do their jobs well. Be clear on the importance and priority of each task. My assistant, Deborah, says I sometimes treat every task as a matter of life and death. Most importantly, let people know they're being given responsibility because you know they can handle it, not just because they're a warm body. Most people try to live up to the trust they're shown.
