  • They asked me to do things instead of telling me to do things.

    He was explicit about it. He said, I know I’m your boss, I can’t just say go do this thing, but I have found I get better results and have happier co-workers when I ask you to do the things I need you to do instead of telling you to do the things I need you to do.

    A specific example would be, instead of, “please clean the lobby”, Saying, xwill you go clean the lobby for me, please?"

    And it’s one of those things that’s really, really subtle and really minor. It only takes a small amount of adjustment in it in the way that you speak, and it yields excellent results.
