There is no better way to manage than by walking around. Autocracy doesn't work. Talk to people in their offices, find out what's on their minds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In nation after nation, democracy has taken the place of autocracy.
Retaining a sense of control is really important. I like to do things in my own time, and in my own style, so an office with targets and bureaucracy just wouldn't work.
Aside from the occasional genocide, oppression, evil and torture, etc., it is inarguable that public policy could be implemented more rapidly in an autocracy.
Autocracy is a government of the few from above; Bolshevism is a government of the few from below.
Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out.
How can I govern others, who can't even govern myself?
In business or in life, focus on the things over which you do have some control. And don't fret about all the other problems. Most of the time, they don't come true anyway!
I've always been completely autocratic. I've never learned to be diplomatic or democratic.
When you can't solve the problem, manage it.
I feel like I want to keep moving toward idiosyncracy. Personal, personal, personal.
