Many employees do a better job when we trust them with the responsibility and let them get it done their own way.

You are absolutely right. Many people either employees, mates or leaders have the ability to spur themselves to success with little motivations. And this is produced when we allow them innovate, think and aspire to do things in the best possible way, that their mind can reach. Alot of talents are somehow buried by the stereotyped nature of major corporations.

At my home, we had some family visiting over the holidays who had not seen this new Star Wars movie yet

I have not seen it aswell. I probably might not. Since movies are not always on my list. Maybe in years to come I would be able to pass some times seeing movies too.
