I can think of quite a few occasions where our staff have gone way over and above to finish orders on a deadline, sometimes staying up throughout the night in order to complete work on time.
I now find things work better when I stay out of the way. Certainly less stressful for all of us.
Certainly found this out also,when i first started working in the mines,i found it hard to encourage workers to go that extra mile to help finish a job,before we all went home,this was in Australia,but here i never had to ask,as long as they had the clear understanding,that the job had to be finished,asap..there are so many examples that i can give in having to complete a difficult job,in difficult conditions,and on time,or certainly before we could call it a day and they came through as true troopers, at times i have had to make sure we did not go over board in the hours we work,as they will certainly keep going without complaint,if you allow this,i also agree its best if i stay away as much as possible from the actual work,we have our daily morning meetings with the key staff,and a quick after work meeting daily,normally over a few beers after work if possible:)and this works well for us,i have my faults in being a control freak so best i am not involved in the actual work,just planning the next stage
