Do Not Accept Half-Confidences!
b'One of John Paul Jones\'s leadership principles was this: don\'t accept "half-confidences" from people. This means that if you are in charge, you have a right to expect people to give you a reasonable chance at doing the job. If you are being constantly questioned, undermined, micromanaged, and doubted, then your superiors or your people are not giving you their full confidence. You need to take steps to assert your control.'
