It is important to be sensitive to emergency or exception situations, but it is equally important to enforce the rules with an even hand. It is an area where many supervisors struggle. This article suggests an antidote.

The Power of Practical Wisdom
To have practical wisdom means that you know when to innovate, when to bend the rules, when to be flexible, when to improvise a solution.
