Found this linked from a Marketing Watchdog Journa l - an email newsletter that gives strategies for sales and marketing professionals. Made me laugh like anything, mainly because I can realate to it. :
The "To Don't" List
Everyone talks about the best things to do when building a good staff. Here's a list of don'ts.
- Outlaw fun. Work-only - all the time - is a good way to lower morale. After
all, liking what you do is for after hours.- Banish initiative. Keep your staff concerned with doing their strictly
outlined jobs, and no one will go above or beyond to serve your clients.- Ignore the future. When hiring, focus only on the ability to do the current
tasks.- Judge by resume only. Let the resume drive your decision when hiring. After
all, aren't all resumes totally accurate?- Be rigid. Don't offer any flexibiliy. Force employees to do things your way
and on your timeframe.
