For instance, I once worked as an engineer at a truck manufacturer. Plant manager's bonus was, in part, based on how many trucks "came off the line." Even if the trucks needed extensive repair work before being shipped the manager got his bonus.<br /><br />Second; what you say and what you do (how you act) are in conflict. An example was a staff meeting that was called began with the manager stating how everyone was important to the program. Then immediately followed with how the single most important metric that would be tracked was "hours sold" to the customer, and if you didn't like it you could leave.Michael L Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872309908333685594noreply@blogger.com
