Your water privileges will be revoked: A lesson in bad leadership

Years ago, during a particularly hot and humid summer, I was concerned about people in the factory. So I told the factory supervisor to see to it that plenty of bottled water was on hand.

That seemed to be working well … until someone told me their water “privileges” had been suspended. Now first of all, I wouldn’t consider providing drinking water to employees in a hot factory a privilege. I would consider it an obligation.
