Doing what you should...

... should not be too difficult .. right?
Wrong.
As we look around, the most difficult thing is to get people to do what they should be doing anyway. However, I dont believe in whining and cribbing. I always tell my team members - Come to me with solutions. Dont come to me with problems. Its another thing I tell this to my wife sometimes and get a FO in return.
Anyway, coming back to the point, its difficult to get people to do what they should. And frankly, I dont have a very innovative solution to this. My solution is - Follow up, beg and cry. If it still doesnt work, Do it Yourself.
Seriously.
You would save yourself a lot of time and effort !
