Not Doing What the Boss Asked
Today, you get this e-mail message:
To: All Unit Managers
Subject: Cutting Costs
Please submit five ideas for cutting costs in your unit. I will choose the best ideas and implement them immediately.
You think your boss's strategy is wrong. Cutting costs will be easier if people buy into the decision rather than being handed orders. Instead of gathering ideas by e-mail, the boss should call a meeting so that people can brainstorm, teaching each other why specific strategies will or won't be easy for their units to implement.
Reply to your boss's e-mail request. Instead of suggesting specific ways to cut costs, persuade the boss to have a meeting where everyone can have input and be part of the decision
