Being too friendly with people is something I've had trouble with a lot. When I was in the Air Force, I found out that being friendly with people that held lower rank was generally ok, but there were always a couple of guys that couldn't behave. Sad really.
We have a very interesting situation at work. Our boss is somewhat of a tyrant, so people pretty much ignore him. With a batch of creative people doing research, being a tyrant is totally counter-productive. Treating highly skilled technical people like someone that's barely qualified to use a shovel will only get you some very creative ways of avoiding work. |
