Translation: Live overachieving corporate objectives. Stay sensitive to career interests/personal needs of your people. Set a tone of expectation which motivates them to climb out of warm beds, show up on time and do whatever it takes to take care of business.
What does a manager do?
Is he like a director, or more like a supervisor, or something different?

changing world. Within effective organizations traditional formats have given
way to flex environments. Everybody with something timely or valuable to say
talks freely with anyone with an ear to hear or project vested reasons to listen.
It's little wonder your apparently rigid throwback experience has left you cynical.

The Hundred Flowers Campaign, also termed the Hundred Flowers Movement, (simplified Chinese: 百花运动; traditional Chinese: 百花運動; pinyin: bǎihuā yùndòng) refers to a brief interlude in the People's Republic of China from 1956 to 1957 during which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) encouraged a variety of views and solutions to national policy issues, launched under the slogan: "Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting progress in the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land."
The first part of the phrase is often mistranslated and remembered in the west as "let a thousand flowers bloom" and used to refer to alleged deliberate attempts to flush out dissidents by encouraging them to show themselves as critical of the regime, before wiping them out.[1] This view is supported by author Jung Chang, who states that the campaign was a political trap, and that Mao persecuted those who had views different from the party. This view has also been challenged, notably because Premier Zhou Enlai played a large role in the campaign. The ideological crackdown following the campaign's failure re-imposed Maoist orthodoxy in public expression.
Originally posted by Ice ColdI was just thinking the other day about Miracle Whip. They have a commercial "A blend of spices, we will not tone it down".
Hey dammit, I asked for mayo, and you used Miracle Whip! ðŸ˜
Funny, I can't think of many spices I don't like. All I know is anyone who asks if you want Mayo and gives you Miracle Whip should be shot!~
