Excellent topic Lilith... I wish that I were more of a hardass, but for some reason I find myself being an enabler, and not particularly liking myself for it. I think the hardass' keeps me more honest. If I know someone will be an enabler I'm more likely to take advantage of it. I don't personally like having it pointed out to me when I screw up, so I try to avoid screwing up with a hardass. Now, if only I could figure out how to be more of a hardass and less of an enabler, my life as management would be MUCH more rewarding.
