Design Doctor 118 Small Minds

Important comments from Laura Norda and Terry Nullius

LN:  Speaking of small minds – really Terry where do these C & P fellows get off?  They seem to have absolutely no idea of the importance of good communication, of building strong teams, of keeping everyone on the same page.  Involvement and ownership builds loyalty.

TN:   Laura, you’ve missed to point.  That being that this is typical of planning departments, and of government generally.  More petty laws being formulated by more petty bureaucrats.  We don’t want to live in a Nanny State!  Be decisive, tell people what they want, what is good for them.  They really don’t want to think, they want to be told.  Yesterday’s Mine Tinkit was a case in point.  Everyone goes home happy when those who so obviously and professionally know what is good for the client, the customer if you will, make the proper decision and carry it out.  Everyone can see how it works.  Transparency at its best.  Look, Laura, you involve too many people (and often, in my experience, two is too many), and confusion reigns, pathetic compromises are made.

Next ?  Maybe Ira Maine “Under the Radar”
