In extenso ;-)
The easiest form of management is to encourage or demand that people do more. The other translation of this phrase is to go faster.
The most important and difficult form of management (verging on leadership) is to encourage people to do better.
Better is trickier than more because people have trouble visualizing themselves doing better. It requires education and coaching and patience to create a team of people who are better.
Wow….
I often use the sentence “Work better, not harder” which sounds very similar.
I like what Seth is expressing it is so true to me.
Patience is the key ;-)
