Recently, I was asked by one BusinessWorld reader: “What makes lousy workers lousy?”
My answer was: “If you see a turtle on top of a car in your garage, you know it had help from someone in getting there. The same thing can happen in people management. If you, as a manager don’t help your workers do their job, your four fingers will point the blame to you, and you will be in trouble.
Here’s the link to my Feb 6-7, 2015 “In the Workplace” column http://www.bworldonline.com/content.php?section=Labor&title=what-makes-lousy-workers-lousy&id=102240
