Anarchangel is one of my favorite blogs to read. His latest post covers rules that should be branded into every manager in every company. And by branded, I do mean with a hot searing iron into naked flesh.

My management philosophy has a few very basic, but very important tenets:

• You are adults, I will treat you as such
• You are professionals, I will treat you as such
• I am your advocate; I do my best for you
• In return, you do your best for me
• I trust you completely – ONCE
• Trust your team completely – with all others; trust, but verify
• Life Comes First
• K.I.S.S.
• The P”s
• Planning (SMESCS)
• Mission focus
• Be prepared
• Be creative
• No idea is a bad idea (but it may not be the RIGHT idea)
• Never say “That’s impossible” to the guy who’s actually doing it
• Take risks – but understand and MANAGE them
• Good is Enough; Good Enough Isn’t
• Unintended consequences
• Good intentions matter, but good results matter more
• Sometimes you have to make the least bad” decision
• The Perfect is the enemy of the good

Please read the rest of the article. It is good stuff!
