Do More vs. Do Better

Seth writes that

The easiest form of management is to encourage or demand that people do more. The other translation of this phrase is to go faster.

The most important and difficult form of management (verging on leadership) is to encourage people to do better.

Better is trickier than more because people have trouble visualizing themselves doing better. It requires education and coaching and patience to create a team of people who are better.

While doing better would be ideal, it is not always possible with the team you, right away.. so in that case, doing more may be a better option as it will lead to doing better, I think. Leads to the same result, just a few more steps.
