Sometimes bosses think they are doing good when in reality - it may have the opposite effect, for example:
"I don't care how you do it, just get it done."
While a boss may think this inspires independence, said to the wrong person can imply permission to take dangerous shortcuts, be dishonest or act illegally. Many managers learn the hard way, this could be a "recipe" for disaster!
