I did managed some people on the Spectrum and it is an eye opener. The best way to explain is: Imagine you can only see black and white (no gray tones) and all other people can see full colors. Then someone says: "look at that Orange and pink tones" <...> That is it. They can't identify these "orange and pink" tones. Example on priorities: 1. You set 5 task on priorities; 2. CEO/Big Boss secretary calls because report Y is not printing; 3. Your fellow on Spectrum says rigidly: "Sorry that is not important or priority, bye". That may look "funny" but these people suffer a lot. In work, relationships everything. They can't see "pink and oranges". Sheldon from Big Bang theory is "funny" until it is not. What is my suggestion: 1. One task by time (only leave ONE task on their queues). 2. Be EXPLICIT . VERY EXPLICIT. Examples: 2.1 "I Need this class to input X,Y,Z, and produce Z with W,G results. Do not change code-style,lint or whatever." 2.2 "We need to improve W but we Can't turn off Z. or Y" 3. Ask and understand how they think (example with real cases): 3.1 "Why you turn off the whole call center electricity? A. To restart all machines faster after Service Pack." 3.2 "Why you blocked CEO mailbox? A.: "There was a virus running and I did to safe him" The thing is to be their "pink and orange tones". One Task only, be explicit what you want, be VERY explicit what is the result. Once you reach this you will have a fine tuned productivity machine.
