  Me thinks you think I'm joking.  I'm not.  I visit 
  scores of teams a year with various styles and 
  states of leadership, and you can relate it all 
  to Sun Ra and Aguirre.  It should be a course 
  ;-)

  wpic>   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 ...

  wpic>   They should be able to make the decisions, but 'being able

  wpic>   they don't have to.

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

  wpic>   'Aguirre, Wrath of God' by Werner Herzog

  wpic>   and

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

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