Red Pencil Fever ~ Update
By Ellen K. Jordan

Red Pencil Fever was first printed in 1973 and was still going strong in 1981.

As I reread this article, I realized that I had gone through this process with more than one boss. I have also met many clients who were afflicted with the dreaded Red Pencil Fever. I found that in most cases it either didn’t matter or the boss was doing it just because they could.

We all need to learn about our subordinates and the fact that they are people with an ego also. The more satisfied they are, the better workers they become and the more we can rely on them.

Most importantly, any excuse to change a document results in having to do the document twice; perhaps even more often than that. Additionally, having to reread every bit of it so it is presented (we all hope) with no fatal errors. This is a costly job. Even with today's automation, computers, the internet, etc., business is still performed by people.

What we fail to take into consideration, is the time spent redoing a document, and then we wonder why all of the work we planned to get through this day, did not happen. Another late night?

Note to Editor:

Rob,

Feel free to enhance this, but I want people to understand the cost savings if they concentrate on the task at hand, not the ego of change. Thanks.

Ellen

Note From Editor:

She is correct. Change, for changes sake, is costly in too many ways.
This and many other articles carefully edited not for the ego of change.

Rob
