  wpic> so now here is the core of the new thread, should managers manage, control, make decisions for the team or enable the team/staff to do so themselves, and if so ...

  They should be able to make the decisions, but 'being able 
  to' also means that they can create an environment where 
  they don't have to.

  BTW, if I was ever going to create a course on leadership 
  I'd have it revolve around the viewing and discussion of 
  two movies:

  'Aguirre, Wrath of God' by Werner Herzog

  and

  'A Joyful Noise' which is a documentary about the 
  bandleader Sun Ra

  Those two movies are *excellent* good cop/bad cop case 
  studies of leadership.
