Convincing is better than telling

Chris Barling writes:

"When I worked for a large corporate in middle management, I found the decisions that did and didn't get handed down a real irritation. My philosophy was simple: when I ran the world, it would be different.

"Now I'm a CEO and the majority shareholder in my company, so I have pretty much seen my wish fulfilled (on a very small scale). However, it's not plain sailing and ironically I receive the same complaints that I myself used to voice.

"Apart from a bit more humility, what I've learnt is that being in charge isn't the answer. And simply telling people what to do, whether the decisions are good or bad, certainly doesn't lead to business success."
