Examples of Telling and Showing:
Here are sme ccmmon examples proving that unfortunate results corne
from telling when a new Ran doesn't "get" tke ideas:
1. Erectingaderrick ona construction job--Thebosstoldahelperto
slack offona guywire. What reallywas inhismindwas to equalize
the strain on all guys. The man loosened the shackle bolts -- completelg
and the whole strain of the mast was on the ONE guy. The
derrick fell. Fortunately, no person was hurt, but hours of labor
had to be used by an entire gang to get back to where they were before
they were "told."
2. Remember the one about the boss in a repair shop "telling" the new
worker to "go get the old man." Of course, an "old man" used by
maintenance Icen is a tool-a portable rigging with an adjustable
clamping device-which acts as a hand power drill press. Instead
of a special rigging for drilling a hole in metal, he brought the
superintendent! Considerable explaining was needed before the
superintendent found out what had happened!
From your own experience, you can pick out illustrations of a similar
kind.
-Do not overdo it. 'however. Your purpose is only to get a realiza-
tion in the members' minds that mere "telling" is not a reliable
way to instruct.
