Proverbs 26:3

“A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
 and a rod for the back of fools.”

Whip = Motivation

Do you need someone to motivate you, or does that fire burn within you?

Bridle = Taming

Will you get yourself in trouble without someone hovering over you?

Rod = Discipline

Do you need punishment to keep you from breaking the rules, or can you keep it between the ditches?

A note to Employees: Earn your freedom to run with humility, grit, excellence and being uber-responsible and impeccably reliable.

A note to Employers: Find thoroughbreds who do not need whips or bridles and who allow you to put away the Rod. Pay them a bunch of money.

If not, you’ll spend all your time on Micromanagement, Policy, Procedure, 100-lb Employee Handbooks, Excessive Rules, and Unnecessary Requirements to try and motivate, tame, and discipline the worst of your employees.

Thoroughbreds or Micromanagement, you can only pick one.

Grindforth!
