(2,667 posts)I say that because back when I was still working (now retired) I rarely worked at any place where even half of the people there were much interested in the work product, just the check. Half of the clowns I worked with over the years couldn't be trusted to make a decision about rather to get drunk before they drove home that night, I sure as hell wouldn't want them cooperatively turning the place I worked into a freek-show. That said I was fortunate over the years to have very good supervisors and I'd like to think I became a pretty good one myself, at least toward the end. Many people fared better than I did climbing the ladder of success but in most every case it was those who were most engaged with the workplace, more than I was and much more than most of the people I worked with. And that is my reason for preferring the conventional management style.
