What's the best advice

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP

When we used to go to my boss with a question, he'd ask us what we thought his answer would be. We'd tell him and most of the time we'd be right.

He told us to trust in our knowledge- we didn't need to ask him as we already knew the answer. He gave us confidence to believe in ourselves. (But he was always there for us if we didn't know the answer!)

What's the best advice someone has given you?

since the OP started with boxx / work related, i'll stick to that.

this from the man that was on the initial design team for the main gun stabilisers for battleships in WW2

"you can say anything you like to your boss, as long as you are not right, that is the one thing they will never forgive"

best workplace advice I have ever heard.

Best bit if advice was to never stop learning and developing thought formal and informal education as well as the university of life.

Second best : To apply the above and encourage others to do the same.

Its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

If a person understands why something needs to be done in a certain way, he/she is more likely to do it.

Therefore, when someone asks me how to do something, or why it needs to be done, instead of providing the answer right away, I would ask him/her questions in order to lead him/her to come up with the answer him/herself.

It is time consuming and can be quite frustrating for both the trainer and trainee. However, I believe that is a good way for someone to use his/her own initiative to learn, rather than to be spoon-fed.
