You Don't Want Your Subordinates to Just Nod Their Heads and Say, Hey, You Dont Want That.

Jordan's advice to business and military leaders: Don't bark in order at your subordinates. Take responsibility for the decisions you make, he says. Be tactful when telling them why they're doing a certain thing or what it is that will affect their day-to-day lives. The idea of giving up things now while making things better in the future is deeply embedded in Christian ethics.
