The way it's presented in the material, discipline and productivity are a mutual effort by staff and students.
Treat one another like people, and have standards of behavior.
It's pretty common sense, maybe some minor caveats that need to be observed that have been found to be most effective thru testing and runtime out in the real world.

I can appreciate the way the management styles were broken down.
It makes it much easier to examine your own behavior when you have some concrete criteria to compare against.

You're at the forefront, responsible for the overall success of the operation. But not as the sole bearer of responsibility as Atlas bore/bears the weight of the earth, rather one who cultivates and inspires those under your charge to grow and excel and succeed.
A beacon of competency/authority to lead by example.

In retrospect, myself and those within whom I've worked closely have experienced the same sort of perceptions and thoughts in regards to our mentors and superiors… >>>
