The workplace can quickly become a battlefield when employees breach previously unspoken boundaries and bosses respond with stone cold rule-setting. As a result, there is an increased need for soft skills in the workplace and for mutual understanding between employers and employees rather than overly restrictive formal parameters.

Laying down the law creates a divide between boss and workforce that counters efforts to maximize the potential of teamwork.

Mutual respect and open communication can be more productive than iron discipline when it comes to maintaining standards and boosting productivity in the workplace.
