Treating "every person fairly with respect" AND "willing to admit mistakes"?
Good things to mention. There is certainly not enough of that anywhere, but too often especially in leadership roles.
Hi, you are certainly right. Too often organizations blame their staff when things aren't quite right ... as they work to solve problems they should look first at how their people are being organized and managed. I have spent 15 years as a business consultant training Government, Corporate, and small to medium size business, and have found very often the solutions to many of their problems lie at the top end of tier rather than the bottom. Kind regards, Gary
Thanks. I've worked my way up at several companies before, often entering at entry level "bottom" positions and eventually (within months or about a year) ending up as an Assistant Manager or a Supervisor for an entire crew or shift. So often, I see those "in control" creating more problems for themselves simply by the way that they treat their employees. Too often, these so-called "leaders" have never been there or done that and completely lack any sort of capability to relate to their employees. Personal, ethical and social standards seem too low at the top for anyone beneath them to reach higher. Here is often where the real difference was noticed. Simply by having high standards that I would not compromise, I stuck out like a sore thumb, and was given many opportunities to "climb the ladder". Of course, there were multiple times that I chose to "climb back down" for various reasons. It's a sad state of affairs when you have to deny the request of your boss to lie for them.
Thanks again for your post and for being a voice of reason and wisdom in this desperate time in our world!
