I was asked a question:
“I must have been doing something wrong. It’s another time when guys from my team skips me and asks colleagues what they have to do, after I asked them to do something. What’s wrong?”
• Ask not demand. When you ask your people to do something, let it look like you’re asking for a favor, not like you’re demanding soma action from them.
• Talk more with the team. The better contact you have with your team the more likely they will come to you when they have some problem.
• Accept the distance. There will always be some distance between the boss and the team. No matter how hard you try you’ll never be the first person to talk when an issue arises. Asking the colleague is playing safe. Asking the boss can be a tricky game.
