I think the difference is that he earns the right to make a fuss over stuff like that by setting the standard of excellence in his own work and consistently requiring it of everyone around him.
Whereas most other bosses that might make a similar request would seem capricious for nitpicking over one issue while ignoring a bunch of (probably more important) issues.
- toddmorey 15y agoThat's a really good point. I'd also argue that you have to be right. His magic is high standards paired with amazing insight for what to build and how to motivate people. The most dangerous managers have strong convictions, micromanaging tendencies, but the wrong vision and focus. You can't bully other people into your perfectionism. You have to inspire them.
