Many managers pride themselves
on their open door policies.
They drop whatever tasks they’re doing
to serve the people walking through the door.
They feel this is a good thing.
Elizabeth Grace Saunders
shares another perspective.
“Part of being a good manager
is demonstrating the importance
of focusing on high priority work.
I can keep my door closed
during certain times of the week
when I need to get things done
without guilt.”
Leading by example is powerful.
If you don’t complete your core tasks,
why would you expect
your employees to honor their commitments?
Close your door
and get your work done.
