One of my favorite managers required i give him estimates. I hated it because we both knew the number was bullshit. On the other hand, having to think about the estimate and give him something, even if at times it was a guess, i still found it beneficial. It meant i focused better, stayed on task, and often delivered on time anyway. Im not saying everyone needs the accountability rails, but some people excell with this particular helper.
