They seem to be able to give direction without telling them what to do. Quite contrary to what I thought originally.<br /><br />On the flip side, low ranking ex-military when put into management roles seem to do more telling of how to do something. It seems harder for them to give up the control.<br /><br />My personal speculation is an officer is trained on how to give direction. So they are used to doing this when they join a company after serving.Matt Wryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128365101734450907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167539222502940808.post-29333819050607120192010-11-12T12:48:47.637-05:002010-11-12T12:48:47.637-05:00good post....good post....shilpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869099963649136163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167539222502940808.post-92050526514880522902010-11-12T10:58:27.924-05:002010-11-12T10:58:27.924-05:00Definitely an interesting quote from General Patto...Definitely an interesting quote from General Patton.
