Persian General Problem

The responsibility of achieving results lies not just in assigning tasks but in ensuring their completion. Team members must communicate both good and bad news, with a focus on the latter, as it is crucial for effective decision-making. This idea aligns with the concept of the 'Persian messenger syndrome,' highlighting the dangers of punishing individuals for delivering negative news. Encouraging an environment where bad news is received positively fosters accountability and transparency. Additionally, one should never take information at face value.

Responsibility extends to ensuring that the necessary resources meet the expected standards, reiterating that proactive communication and diligence are key to successful management.
