'We're just following his procedure, right?': New manager does away with his team's system, employees maliciously comply knowing productivity will decline

The first big no-no of managing an already well-run team is to ignore the voices of your employees. Sadly, people swoop in out of nowhere all the time and claim that their goal is to make things easier for everyone to do their work effectively and productively. However, all of that is easier said than done, and more often than not, new managers already have their own ways of doing things regardless of whether or not that works for the team they are managing. Now, you would think if the manager were intelligent, they would want to gain the loyalty and support of their new employees by listening intently to their ideas, problems, and potential solutions. But we've been on FAIL Blog long enough to know that managers rarely have the best interests of their employees in mind.
