First Impression

Just Because An Employee Does Things Differently Doesn't Mean He Or She Won't Do The Job Right Or As Well. If You Establish Expectations Of The Goal And The Standards To Follow, Then Methodology Shouldn't Be An Issue.

If It Changes Your Life, Let It. Nobody Said Life Would Be Easy, They Just Promised It Would Most Likely Be Worth It.

You'll Always Get The Good News; It's How Fast You Get The Bad News That Counts.
