Editor's Notes
- Three Ds.
- When you think of the word direct—what other words come to mind? Blunt—straightforward—to the point
- Clarify problems before giving solutions or explanations. If you don’t, you’ll end up solving the wrong problem.
- That was me recently. Student came to see me and said ---“I know I have failed two exam, haven’t done any homework, missed 8 classes, ---but I need to get a B in your course. Can I do some extra credit? And when my wife asked me for the fifth time to remodel the kitchen…..
- Clarify problems before giving solutions or explanations. If you don’t, you’ll end up solving the wrong problem. And I found that the most effective form of mentorship was that I would be blunt when I had to be blunt, but the tome was one of encouragement. Give short answers and ask if you answered their question. You can always say more but you can never take back.
- Pretty cheap company.
- My neighbor’s 17 year old son said to his mother – “How can I make some money?” His mother said, “Weed all of the flower beds around the house.” Is that enough direction? He dug up 3 plants his mother had planted a week earlier. Two of the plants had a wooden stick supporting the plant.

- Should we reward/recognize this employee fro following directions? I’m working at McDonalds and I start making the Big Mac a new way. What do you think my manager would say to me?
- Discussing the right things but with the wrong people Someone once said the 4 most important words in any organization---What do you think? Why?
- Productive discussions start with great questions.

- When you think of the word delegating—what other words come to mind?
- “It’s easier to do it myself.” “If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself.” Things may get worse before they get better
- “It’s easier to do it myself.” “If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself.”
- “It’s easier to do it myself.” “If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself.”
- Managers span of control has increased from 7 to 17. which leads to a sink or swim type of delegation.
- Three Ds.
