Darth Vader's Management Secrets.

Colin Xavier

Darth Vader takes some time off to share with us some inspirational management techniques.
  1. Use Fear. Yoda once said that “fear is the path to the Dark Side.” He couldn’t have been more right; however, his conclusions were wildly off base. Fear can be a great motivator, both for you and for those around you. Fear can help you overcome moral ambiguities by clouding them with the need for action, now. Also, fear is the way to motivate people. You may find their lack of faith disturbing, so you may need to demonstrate your superiority. If someone disagrees with you, Force-choke them until they see things your way.
  2. Don’t Tolerate Dissent. Destroy it. Make sure everyone knows that your word is the last word. Demand unwavering faith in your abilities from your inferiors, and if they display a disturbing lack of faith, choke them.

In real life I've actually been a meeting where I dropped my voice an octave and asked someone who was whining "Perhaps you feel you are being treated unfairly?"

He didn't get the reference but some of my coworkers were about to bust a gut by the time he shut up :D
