Employees: On Their Own?

This relates to yesterday's post; one of the reasons people fail to get things done as expected.

It makes me wonder how much discussion managers have with employees regarding how they will achieve their objectives as opposed to what those objectives are.


How much (if at all) should a manager get involved with how the work will be done?

  2. How much a manager should help direct an employee's efforts depends on how experienced the employee is or should be.

    If they're suppose to know how to do their work, and they prove that they don't, get rid of them.
