It is almost as if this were our natural state. (I might be being sarcastic when I say this, but not sure.)<br /><br />The opposite way is thinking how badly we respond to perceived restrictions on our freedom. As managers, we have to respect that good people deserve respect. Including that they are imperfect, but still respect. So, we must see if they agree that doing X works if 'where it's at'. At least.<br /><br />And I agree with your point too. Some people are remarkably creative and productive if you give them free rein. Truly impressive. Some need a bit of channeling, but even they can do great stuff with a bit of channeling.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />JoeJoe Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413810050491070483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930876570525471458.post-50981934925913189292011-06-01T11:29:14.547-04:002011-06-01T11:29:14.547-04:00I totally share your opinion.

If people do not like what they do (or how they do it) they drag their feet.<br /><br />And it's really amazing to step back and see what ideas the developers come up with if they get some time to do stuff they like.Matthias Marschallhttp://www.agileweboperations.comnoreply@blogger.com
