Please Help Me
As a leader, you have been entrusted with the lives of people looking for avenues to develop, contribute, share their expertise, and make our world or organizations, businesses, a better place to be and work. Have you consistently abused that trust by stopping your team, direct reports, and whoever is under your leadership from growing, progressing, and fulfilling their potential? Recently, I was conducting a seminar for a hotel group. One of the leaders took me aside and said until such and such a person leaves the room, the rest will not be free to speak freely. When your people cannot speak freely to their leaders about what is going right or wrong and had to look for the opportunity through a workshop to speak up, it speaks to the culture of the organization. Leaders, your people are sounding the clarion call for help. Will you listen and do something about it. Are you satisfied with the way you are treating the people under your leadership? My question to you is If you could do better, should you? If you could be the voice of reason in your organization, helping all those placed under your leadership, would you?
