"First, Break all the Rules" is a great book in this regard.

It is sourced from a lot of quality data collected by Gallup and the wisdom boils down to 3 practices:

1) Give everyone the tools they need to do the job.

2) Get out of their way.

3) Don't try to force equal performance across your team. You won't achieve it and it will alienate people.

Hi, just so you know, you are shadowbanned. Most of your comments seem on-topic and make fair points, so I don't know why this is the case. I've vouched for them where possible.

I think new accounts are (always? often?) shadowbanned by default now.

I can't say I've seen that to be the case.

Weird. If that's the case, how are you able to see them?

I vouched for this comment so it should now be visible.

I have above a certain level of karma (which allows me to vouch for your comments), and have deliberately enabled "showdead".
