Can we crowdsource a list of great rules of thumb for managers? I'll start: - Hire good people - Employees are like product lines, spend the most time and money on the best ones (tendency is the reverse) - Fire fast - IMHO, hire fast. Hire slow if you have headhunter maybe.

- Don't do anything someone you manage can. - As soon as you notice an error in work you are reviewing, stop, drop, and tell them to double-check their work. - On tough projects, before they start, make them give you a plan

- If the deliverable is hard to understand, make them redo it so it's clear - Managers don't read rough drafts. - If they ask you a question that they should know, make them answer it. - https://lmgtfy.com/ - Communicate clearly and concisely. Twitter helps with this.

- Your task doesn't have a deadline and consequences, it won't get it done. - Journaling your day as a manager will teach you a lot about how you're misspending your time. - Never answer an e-mail or message to answer it. Inbox zero is worthless if your directives suck.
