Freedom with Responsibility

Chapter 86
"Where are you at in 'Collins' great good Bible."
"Careful with your punning. People get their noses out of joint if you misuse that. I'm in the 'freedom with responsibility' section." Simmy answered.
"Give me the 'readers' digest version," Sam barked.
"You are so spoiled, caption man," Simmy said.
"Well, he's basically saying, 'A top down sacrifice will build the best organization! You lead where you wish people to follow!"
"So,..." Sam pushing for examples.
"When I used to train young people how to clean the bathrooms at the cafe... I would show them how I did it and then I would step back and say, 'You must come up with this result. The method and order is up to you but, when you're ready for inspection, the toilet has to be sterilized and everything must be shiny clean."
"Didn't you tell them it would be better to mop the floor last because they'd just have to do it again if they 'did it first?'" Sam was thinking sequentially.
"If you tell them everything, where is their learning curve? I would say, 'Clean it in such a way that you would be happy to sit down on that toilet seat without those fancy paper covers to shield you."
"So, you're not going to adhere to the beans and steak method of leadership?" Sam asked.
"The 'walk of shame' tyrant has only created a culture people want out of, fast," Simmy answered.
