Nobody can be perfectly transparent, but I strive to be as predictable and transparent as possible. I want the people who work for me and around me to understand what I expect of them. To help with this I put a set of rules up on the wall in my office for everyone to see. And if those rules are followed, it's pretty hard to go too wrong.
- Think
- No surprises
- Spend more time fixing in than whining about it
- Plan to deal with exceptions
- Do your homework
- Don't let your problems become my problems
In upcoming posts I'll walk through each of these with some examples.
Oh - and I did leave out another rule: No Weaseling. I really should add it to the wall.
