Remember this the next time you find yourself trapped by a needy, demanding staff. If they need too much of your time, you can’t just tell them to stop bothering you. You have to wean them away and make it seem like it’s their idea. Let them figure out what they should be doing on their own. Let them tell you where you’re not needed. There’s a fine line between legitimate face time and get-out-of-my-face time. It’s up to you as boss to make the troops face that.
