Learning

Learning, always learning.

Today I learnt some more about:

• confusing people - tell your report to do something they have been specifically told to wait on by a stakeholder
• demotivating people - threaten them with furloughs and even instant dismissal if they don't do new and really complicated things even though they have a lot to do anyway
  
• stressing people - get the person whom you told to do something (that they have been told not to do) to do something else at the last minute, then to go back to what they are doing, all this without allowing overtime
• defocusing people - when your programme is going badly, and you have an immoveable dropdead date with massive corporate risk, get all the people who can get you out of the hole to do timesheets and create detailed, practically fictional plans running over 18 months.

Am not impressed with this disorganisation.
