4 Clues That Your Team Will Not Follow Your Instructions.

1- When They Do Not Regularly Carry Paper And Pen: Never count on any person who does not regularly carry paper and pen in their hand to follow through on something you have asked them to do. NEVER. The reason is that the unlearned people trust their memory for everything. All uncommon leaders know that secret

2- When They Fail To Document The Instructions The Very Moment You Give It To Them: Some carry paper and pen, but simply nod when you give them an instruction. They do not write it down. They do not document it. They trust their memory or think that what you are saying is not enough important for them to take note. Be sure that your instructions will be forgotten in their business because of their over-confidence.

3- When They Ask No Additional Questions About The Assignment Or Instructions: That is another clue and uncommon leaders know that. Few instructions are completed at the beginning. When you ask them to telephone someone about an item, they should ask: a- Is there a deadline on this? b- When do you need a report back on the results of this telephone call? c- Is there anything additional I should know? When additional questions are never asked following an instruction received, they are not giving any thought to it.

4- When They Simply Say , '' I Will Try,'' : They Will Not Get To It. The word '' try'' reveals half- heartedness....and lack of passion. All uncommon Leaders Know That
