For example, restaurant managers must micro-manage in order to ensure all standards are met by over-worked, stressed out serving and kitchen staff. But in an office it can be VERY frustrating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369945627807634027.post-65756817227080541922009-02-22T09:16:00.000-08:002009-02-22T09:16:00.000-08:00It's frustrating when the ones with the knowledge ...It's frustrating when the ones with the knowledge of the clients are not the decision makers...or even contributors to decisions. It's shocking how many people in the MH Center I'm at do not even consult the nurses, or better yet, the daily support staff!antiSWerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500867187473208284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369945627807634027.post-25117408546411539372009-02-22T03:51:00.000-08:002009-02-22T03:51:00.000-08:00My current consultant is a micro-manager par excel...My current consultant is a micro-manager par excellence. Directives come from on high as to how the consultant wants the day-to-day running of the ward, and the nurses are expected to obey. It's like being back in the old "doctor is God" way of working. Unfortunately the ward manager seems to accept this, so we can't challenge it. To make things worse, I've made all kinds of recommendations to the ward round on how to deal with this or that patient, and I've yet to see one that was actually adopted.<BR/><BR/>Naturally this leads to a lot of bad decisions, because they're being made by someone who only sees the patients for 20 minutes once a week rather than the people who see them every day. Why can't this bloody man let the nurses get on with their jobs of being nurses?Spirit of 1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/10314554889217669727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369945627807634027.post-63625837841921442932009-02-21T11:31:00.000-08:002009-02-21T11:31:00.000-08:00Yup.
