All sounds like good advice, however what do you do with managers who think their employees are giving excuses when they attempt to explain? What about managers who insist there's a "correct" way of doing something, when what they're asking for is their way, one of many ways of performing that task?

In my humble opinion, them problem almost always stems from the manager making the mistake. Call me biased, but there it is. Interesting post!
