[QUOTE="Dead Rabbits, post: 8145885, member: 70596"] Did you get into this to manage people or manage cows? They are two very different things, don’t let anyone try to discount that. I did not ever want to manage people but that’s now most of my job and it’s been a challenge for me. I realized years ago that I got extremely frustrated with myself as I could only accomplish a given amount of things in a day. Then I realized that to progress into being more productive I would have to have others working productively as well. Then you have to train and create an environment of clear expectations and standards that is fun to work in with mutual respect. I’m an employee myself but my crew does not work for the company, they work for me, if you see what I mean. I actually like it and I’ve gotten to know myself better because of it. The reason everyone is urging caution or to simplify your system is because it’s very difficult to show someone where to go when you have no idea yourself. That’s not to say you are a bad manager or person, it’s just that you are very early in the game and don’t have a core system developed or settled yet. Focus on getting the basics mastered then move to the next skill set. [/QUOTE]
