As a Department Head stationed on a Navy vessel, I was concerned about one of my senior enlisted men.  He was a superb technician, but he had a problem taking orders.   One day I took him aside and suggested he try something that had worked for me.  “Whenever an officer gives you a directive that you think is stupid,”  I told him, “just say, ‘Yes, sir.’   But in your mind, think, ‘You’re an idiot!’  Will this work for you?” He smiled at me and replied, “Yes sir!”
