I think it's a mistake to think that captains of industry want productivity above all else. They'll happily sacrifice productivity for certainty and compliance.
- Kye 5y agoOnly having people working for them who want to work for them seems like an easy way to be sure of certainty and compliance.
- gkop 5y agoThat doesn’t ring true in my decade of management. Some people are just incapable of doing a bad job, and others just incapable of doing a good job. Whether or not they want to work for you.
