[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 851460, member: 844"] Interesting discussion. I have been in management and leadership positions for over half my life now. In large organizations that are exposed to the standard normal distribution (i.e. not handpicked small and elite groups of people) I have found that, for whatever reason, about 10% of people will push back on any form of authority or, in this case, perceived authority. "You must wear PPE in the smelting and fabrication areas of the plant"...10% (ish) will try to find ways to ignore or circumvent that, even if they understand that PPE reduces the chances of their injury. "No cellphones or laptops use permitted in class"...again, 10% will waste valuable energy trying to find ways around it. I used to wonder about the psychology around this. Nowadays, I just agree with CPJ...it s what it is. For those of you with a decade or more of leading large groups of people, would you agree with my 10% number? I am very curious about what your experience has been. if your experience has been coaching a championship NHL or NBA team or commander of a SEAL team or the like, you may have avoided these problems due to the size and exclusivity of your group as mentioned above. But I say 10% is correct based on my experiences. [/QUOTE]
