How to be a manager?

If you have something urgent but your staff do not really understand what you want, or they understand but they are not thinking step forward to meet the needs but to insist on some principle things, what'd you do?

You might just do it yourself.

What if the business partners have some queries but your staff do not understand and you have to be the messenger? You can't just scold at them at get them do it.

It seems that that's the problem of setting the goals :
  • To get the things done
  • To get the staff to do the things (even if you know how to get it done) and leave them incompleted if your staff could not manage it
What do you think?

Should I tell the staff to get the staff to understand what's in his/her manager's mind or simply tell him/her to do what he/she has to do? It's pretty different because they could do things in many different ways and present the result in many different ways... I guess the principle is to ask them to present the info in a sensible way. But that's the most important part.

Probably I should ask them to think more before they call me.
