If anything my time as a manager has shown me to place trust in the employees, that we are brought together by a common good- and that expectations have indeed created hiccups because not everyone learns the same way- so long as the intention to do the job is present, there is a hands off approach that is suitable. My time has shown me I know very little... But I continue to try and set a right example, knowing I too am not always living the ideal image. It even goes to show that management can upset employees expectations. Today I was pleasantly surprised by everyone's ability to come together, and I felt a sense of pride or accomplishment giving the younger employees the trust and space to shine. I realize they still come to me when they need it, but they also like feeling in charge. As a manager it's best to instill a sense of passion and responsibility in the staff. To say, "this is my store." It truly feels like, "our store."
Considering what you've quoted... Seeing God in all means letting go and also stepping up to the plate where the inner work is concerned.
Sorry for the tangent... Thanks for the thoughts.
