E.g. Just today, I was working with my manager on a scanning electron microscope and I gave him a tip on using it (which I got from some *very* experienced people). He just shrugged it off and didn't really listen. I think I just realized what you meant about that. E.g.

Do you not have subscribe-to-comment on? That thing was such a pest for me to set up. I'll always be just a few keystrokes away! I'll hope to be of any help I can. :) What did you mean 'preaching to your mates'? family? Co-workers? friends? us? I do understand the phrase the 'no prophet' phrase. @Alik,

I just saw this comment. Do you not have subscribe-to-comment on? That thing was such a pest for me to set up.

I’ll always be just a few keystrokes away! I’ll hope to be of any help I can. :)

What did you mean ‘preaching to your mates’? family? Co-workers? friends? us?

I do understand the phrase the ‘no prophet’ phrase.

How do you avoid situations like "proactive agressive blindness by design"? I am still in search after the solution. Got one? @blogrdoc - I'd really like you to be of help when I hit "there is no prophet in his own town" situation once again. You mention few simple but powerful things folks way too often ignore. I used to ignore too. We both used to. Not any more. The problem comes along when you preach this to your mates. There is no prophet in his own town.... Just got home after long long flight…

I'm a big BIG fan of "achieving more with less and getting home by 5" also... this post is good reminder to trim the fat and concentrate on what you are being evaluated on. As a 'technologist', I used to waste a lot of time tinkering with stuff at work. It got old when I realized that there was no return on investment from those 'efforts'. All very good points.

I think the most common interpersonal problems beteween a manager and employee are "behavior blindness" and "crossed expectations" -- both of which are avoidable with the techniques you outline.
