Giving Instructions Effectively
When giving someone instructions, something unexpected may happen. It could be because the other person doesn’t understand what you mean. Or you may not have given them enough of an explanation. In the end, it may be faster to finish it yourself. I don’t think I’m the only president to experience this.
Simply instructing someone to do something may lead to a mistake. It’s natural that things can get misconstrued as we all think differently. Also every person does things differently. So, instead of giving people directions on how to do it and why, we should just tell them what we want and expect from them.
Perhaps I’m not the best boss. I haven’t been able to do it as much recently, but it’s important to effectively give people instructions. Communication is very important. For me, I’ve recently realized that I need to listen to people more.
