How hard is it to follow instructions?

Being faced with an instruction can be very challenging if the instructor is someone the instructed does not want take instruction from. 

If everyone just took a moment to think about what they are about to ask before they give an instruction, the instruction would be clearer, and following instruction wouldn’t be too hard. Would it? 

Here are five things I think everyone should think about before you give an instruction:
  • As the instructor do you know exactly what you want the instructed to do?
  • Are your instructions clear and accurate?
  • Are you open to answering any, topic related, questions the instructed may have?
  • Is the instructed capable of doing the job?
  • When is the due date?
I know that there are many more things that could be discussed before an instruction is given, but these are the basics. I know if my instructor answered these simply questions before sending out an instruction, I, as the instructed would find it easy to follow his/her instructions. 

Instructions are only as hard to follow as the instructor makes it to be. 

Agree/disagree?
