Quote of the Day – Feb. 20, 2019

Everyone must agree on the vision and goals, but how to get it done is up to individuals and small teams who are closest to the work. – Dan Rockwell

I believe in this with all my being.  I worked for a guy who paraphrased this as “Tell me what do or tell me how to do it, but not both”.  He was referring to his wife.

It applies to all relationships but especially to your employees.  When you let them figure out the “How” you will be amazed at what they come up with.  Okay, not always, but if we hire well and then do a good job of articulating the goal and the guiding principles, our employees will flourish.  And that’s the best way to make your business flourish.
