You don’t want to learn some new program or have to account for budgeted items differently; you finally got it down pat, now you may have to do it differently? What’s the moral of all this? You maybe even set many of the existing procedures during your tenure and think there’s no reason to do things differently. Uncertainty.

Don’t realize when employee morale is poor. Don’t hold employees accountable. Lying to your employees is the fastest way to lose respect. Expect what you don’t inspect. How do you expect things to get done as you wish if you don’t inspect the process? Why do you think the service scores are low, or productivity down? Micromanage.
