From Robert Townsends excellent book, Up the Organization: INDIRECTION: DONT NEGLECT IT. Whether youre working in the mailroom or running the whole show, youll be more effective if you vary your attack on your problems and opportunities. Youll also have more fun, and be less of a bore. Know how something disappears if you stare at it long enough? And if everybody knows youre going to shout when you stand up, theyll turn off their receivers. Work can be approached obliquely as well as directly. This is why people should be allowed to work out their own office hours and vacation patterns. Everybody will have a different system of building up a head of steam and then releasing it. There is a time for engagement and a time for withdrawal. A time to walk around the job. A time to contemplate it--and a time to just laugh at it.
