&gt; In fact, try to constantly find many small changes that your team should make, just to keep them on their toes.<p>I worked for someone early in my career who followed every item on that list, especially this one. It made me pause -- I thought it was just him.<p>But thanks to the experience I&#x27;ve completely lost my taste for this kind of management; give me the specs and the authority to make small executive decisions and I&#x27;ll get it done (that&#x27;s what you&#x27;re supposed to be paying me for). It is definitely demoralizing, and is a great way to lose your employees.
