Maybe you should stop thinking<br />you have a clue about "working people" and stick with photography.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I am now a team leader. It is not a role I desired<br />but it is mine. <br /><br />Even Huffington is calling OWS a failure.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-29538433699861312762012-06-02T20:45:21.323-05:002012-06-02T20:45:21.323-05:00Are you on drugs?

Stylistically, I was very charismatic and follow me. <br /><br />As an officer this is a different world. I am more proactive and she is more into reports. My focus is keep them moving before trouble. Hers is more patient lets see what happens. My style is these are the<br />options lets pick one and go. Hers<br />is lets review this and think and then go.<br /><br />It is very rare that we disagree on anything major. As my work has a very unique pattern she can figure it in seconds. The people I mentored<br />use very similar patterns. Out of six four people are using my pattern. Likely, I will have to impart this pattern in seconds.<br /><br />When I arrived I merely added her requirements into my pattern. It was a minor adjustment but she is the boss. <br /><br />My boss in VT was a remarkable man.<br />He understood my patterns with amazing accuracy. How many of a category do you have. I guessed 57<br />but my boss told me 271. Do nothing other than that until there is zero.<br />I reminded him that would put my numbers off the chart on the high side. He told me he would handle all the questions and inquiries.<br /><br />The above is a classic example of excellent managerial style. Assess the situation, direct the worker and keep the extraneous distractions to a minimum. The extra numbers made him look better and made his boss look better. <br /><br />Or work with your friend x. He isn't doing well and is in danger of being demoted. My number was 46 and his was 13. I got his number up to 19 which really disappointed me.<br />The boss was not upset because the percentage gain made my losing a day a worthwhile investment and saved his job.<br /><br />The example there is don't let your people sink and act quickly. Sacraficing my numbers for a day 46<br />meant a return of about 6 per day for the rest of the year. His job was to convince me to sacrafice my numbers for a day to help a friend.<br />The quick response is if you dip from seventh to ninth it amongst your peers it really is no big deal.<br />Saving your friends job and boosting the unit was more important than my drive to be higher ranked. I needed little persuasion and a reminder that expecting my own numbers is not likely. I was scoring higher than my perplexed mentor within a week which bothered her.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-20899199336283715252012-06-02T08:14:05.447-05:002012-06-02T08:14:05.447-05:00This supervisor and I rarely disagree and when we ...This supervisor and I rarely disagree and when we do she knows how to get me moving.<br /><br />-------<br />She reminds you what it's like in the dreaded private sector.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.com
