The Manager's Credo

I've learned this saying by Mary Ann Allison several years ago and it has proved to be very useful in remembering the end to end of being a manager. I used to post this in front of my cubicle hoping that my boss would be swayed into thinking about it more intensely.

To me, this is my Manager's Credo.

"Hire the best. Pay them fairly. Communicate frequently. Provide challenges and rewards. Believe in them. Get out of their way and they will knock your socks off."
— Mary Ann Allison

I'll probably try to explain this in the future (or if someone persistently asks me to).
