Click Here for the Phillip Van Hooser, CSP Home Page This is a question that I hear repeated over and over as I speak to and work with a variety of organizations around this country. Employees ask that of their supervisors. Supervisors ask that of their managers.
Managers ask that of their general managers.
I have spent a considerable amount of time developing an answer to that question. In this day and age, as we encourage employees in all areas of the organization to become involved in managing their own jobs and the decisions that are required, we must be sure to share with them the realities of the situation. There is simply too much to be done. Frivolous conversations, without any noticeable benefit, simply add to the already overwhelming burden that many decision makers are asked to bear. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with emotional commitment.
