I agree. It is a lot easier to sit at your desk and watch your computer with the 16 cameras in each store than to actually go out in the trenches and talk with the managers, employees, and customers to see how things are doing.

When I worked for the Veterans Affairs in Washington DC, the best Secretary of Veterans Affairs we had was Max Cleland. He would greet employees in the front lobby in the morning and make it a point to go around to different offices during the day to see what employees do and how they feel about their work. He would also show up at the Contact Office where vets and their families go for information and talk to them.
