I have not been able to get back to KCL yet. I can't access it from work and have not had time at home lately. I'll get there eventually.<br /><br />Bobby- You are a very wise man. I have total respect for what you are saying, and for your management style. You sound like someone I would want to work for myself. I think that you and my manager would hit it off pretty well. You both seem to think alike.Knifeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075550380062775196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242958444459212683.post-77781550685635474102011-01-19T09:20:59.542-08:002011-01-19T09:20:59.542-08:00I am a friend BUT I also tell everyone my expectat...I am a friend BUT I also tell everyone my expectations before the issue arises and have no trouble enforcing the rules. I also bend over backwards to let them know I am on THEIR side. <br /><br />I get bent out of shape when they try to manipulate me however. <br /><br />I'm fair. I make quick decisions and yes Don I have favorites just like everyone else in the world. <br /><br />My chew out sessions last about one minute tops and are steeped in fact/reality and perception. <br /><br />Now if you disappoint me, I'll let you know. Once I don't trust you, I'll let you know. I'll even give you the heads up by saying this...<br /><br />"I'm not sure I can use you here"...<br /><br />After that you better start looking.<br /><br />If I fuck it up; I'll take responsibility. If one of my guys fucks it up and I need to protect him, I'll accept responsibility to keep a boot off of his neck and have a conversation in private later with that guy. I'm all about loyalty and loyalty starts with management and works its way backwards. <br /><br />I also wont ask you to do anything I wouldn't do myself. Sometimes I have to explain delegation of authority but it is a simple one or two sentence conversation. <br /><br />This is how I got to be a Senior Vice President. I answer to the President and that is it. <br /><br />I'm not one of those blame kind of people either. If we have a problem I simply ask...How can I help? <br /><br />I am called the Benevolent Dictator however and it is my management style. <br /><br />Thank you for posting about this. It is a unique subject matter. I respect the fact that you have so many different personalities to contend with. <br /><br />Cheers buddy,<br />BobbyFijufichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626543577510367007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242958444459212683.post-47863089447752464912011-01-19T07:12:20.771-08:002011-01-19T07:12:20.771-08:00Excellent post.
