Yeah, he rallied around the "no excuses" mantra because it felt good. And sure enough, halfway down the page he says the department dramatically reduced the amount of work intake.
Gee.
It seems like most of the excuses could be boiled down to "Well, you told me to complete a project, but then later you told me not to complete it, so I didn't."
- watwut 10y agoThat is another thing. The maximum total amount of work I can do is incompatible with making sure I always do everything on time. E.g. when I see deadlines as super important, I am more risk averse in terms of how much I attempt. I will spend less time helping colleges if my deadline may be in danger. I will refuse unplanned urgent tasks. I may finish on time but with lower quality and will leave myself buffers in planning. That may be good thing if promised deadline is really important. If the total output is more important, I will do what is the most effective action now. E.g. instead of spending time pressing on third parties to give me information, I will work on what I have information for now and leave them proceed at their own pace. Again, that may be good thing if deadline is less important then effectivity.
