Let's take this then
> Common Sense usually means Big Hairy Ball of Experience-Grounded Implicit Knowledge
I don't agree, here's some very straightforward 'common sense' statements that I've seen not followed at so many companies
Don't micromanage.
Do trust, but verify.
Treat your staff like humans, not like crap.
If the staff you employed know more than you, listen to them.
Focus on business outcomes, not the tech.
All good rules with few if any gotchas. All horribly broken at various places I've worked.
It's all common sense - which too many of my bosses just didn't have - and the summary form help bring them to focus. IMO it's good. YMMV, I appreciate.
Go not by what they say but what they do, and I've known plenty who have treated their staff like utter crap, from screaming abuse at them to ignoring them to undervaluing them to psychological bullying and more. I guess all your workplaces must be like heaven compared to what I've seen.
I don't understand where you're coming from. To me it's a decent and useful post and you are just tearing it down for no reason I can see.
