  1. I once had an employee that questioned and argued against everything I proposed for the team. I expected some push back because I was the new manager, but he took it far beyond reasonable. I had set the tone that I was an open door type of guy and that I wanted to address all problem head on. I called him into my office one day to discuss his objections with me. It turns out he was open to openly discussing everything. He expressed that he had been managed by 3 complete idiots before me and he was tired of following idiots. I challenged him to stump me on anything related to my job. He realized that I not only knew my stuff, but I was willing to teach him and I would protect him from the bureaucracy as my team member. After that little session, he turned out to be my biggest advocate and the first one to defend me. - by Staff
