While they may partner with you, I assume you mean that in the sense of one who joins or associates with another in some action or enterprise, not that they are equal. A peer is defined as one who is equal to another, as in status, social class, or ability. If you consider them thus, then you are in trouble. Consider the verb manage (as in manager): to direct, guide, or control the affairs or operation of. I'm not telling you that you can't empower your employees, just that there are better ways of doing it than asking them to evaluate you. I've seen too many people in this business try to "be the manager they never had" by being a good guy, and then watch the kids eat them up. Phil- You are truly a treasure. Don't lose that sense of humor.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

This is what I meant. That we work together to get the job done. They have their responsibilities, and I have mine. While I have more, that doesnt mean that theirs arent important. quote: A peer is defined as one who is equal to another, as in status, social class, or ability. If you consider them thus, then you are in trouble. While they are not equal to me as far as my position and ability is concerned, that does not mean that they are to be considered less of a person. I am not sure if its your intention, but it seems to me like you feel that the employees are beneath you in all aspects of life. Like they are lowly peasants and you are high and mighty. That is what it seems like to me, but I am probably wrong. quote: I'm not telling you that you can't empower your employees, just that there are better ways of doing it than asking them to evaluate you. Empowering the employees is not what I had in mind. I want their opinions of the job that I am doing. Its not like I am letting them decide whether I get a raise or promotion. It is strictly for me to become better at my job. quote: I've seen too many people in this business try to "be the manager they never had" by being a good guy, and then watch the kids eat them up. I understand what you are saying here, but what I try to do is make my employees want to come to work. Ive seen too many employees quit the theater because of managers that dont care about the employees, and consider them replacable, and hold themselves as better than the employee, while never even trying to better themselves. While I disagree with your way of seeing things, John, I do appreciate and respect your opinion.  |  IP: Logged
