July 15, 2008Poison Phrase of the Week ~ We have no choice
Carl had a great suggestion, but the manager shot it down by saying
- We have no choice.
Carl knew there were lots of choices, but since the manager completely negated his attempt to point out options, and the room full of employees who knew there were lots of choices remained silent, Carl gave up his time-saving suggestion. Chances are Carl will be less likely to share his ideas in the future.

Ah, a shot messenger brings no more messages. This is a great way to force yourself to manage in isolation. No pesky reality input, just straight away forceful decisons. (Is it a decision, if there is no choice?)
