Danny was my secretary.
He would type my letters (1970’s!).
And he’d make a mistake on almost every one.
“Danny, do you check these letters for errors?”
Well, I can always correct them.
“That’s not the point. Correct them before you give them to me.”
OK, why say this?
Many people un-consciously believe that to correct an error after you point it out, shows how valuable they are. How much they are doing to help you.
My modern Danny sends me passwords or site URLs that simply do not work.
Each time with a different reason as to why not, and an immediate correction.
Why not check before giving it to me?
Because then it would be perfect and I would not notice just how valuable that person was.
A supposed clever ploy
is really
Too annoying to do repeat business with.
Check your work before handing it to someone.

Il dactylographiait mes lettres (dans les années 1970!).
Et il faisait une erreur sur presque chaque lettre.
“Danny, est-ce que tu vérifies ces lettres pour voir s’il y a des erreurs”?
Bien, je peux toujours les corriger.
“Là n’est pas la question. Corrige-les avant de me les donner”.
D’accord, alors pourquoi dire cela?
Plusieurs personnes croient inconsciemment que de corriger une erreur, après que l’on lui ait mentionnée, montre jusqu’à quel point ils sont valables. Jusqu’à quel point ils travaillent pour vous aider.
Mon Danny moderne m’envoie des mots de passe ou des adresses de sites internets qui ne fonctionnent tout simplement pas. À chaque fois, avec une raison pour laquelle la correction n’a pas été faite immédiatement.
Pourquoi ne pas vérifier avant de me l’envoyer?
Parce qu’alors, ce serait parfait et je ne remarquerais pas jusqu’à quel point cette personne est valable.
Un employé supposément brillant
est vraiment
trop ennuyant pour faire des affaires avec.
Vérifiez votre travail avant de le remettre à quelqu’un.
