The negative stuff is sandwiched between the good stuff.

Photo credit: 123RF. I was young and relatively new to the professional work world, with an abundance of motivation and drive. The executive I was reporting to inherited me and the work I was doing in a reorganization. When I would meet with him, he didn’t ask about me or my work, what I wanted or what I thought about things. When he spoke he expressed his opinions and ideas.

An Indispensable Leadership Strength. Anxiety reared as I contemplated the crossing of a lengthy suspension bridge. This crossing, for many, may just be a mundane experience. Yet for someone who has always experienced an overwhelming fear of heights, this bridge was a daunting obstacle. An obstacle that was difficult to avoid, as I had to cross the bridge to attend my son’s wedding ceremony.

Hubby was peeved with me. I couldn’t answer his question about whether or not the yard waste had been picked up. “Really, you don’t know?” He asked. “You went out to get the paper. How could you not notice?”. Not noticing had been easy. The early morning air was fresh. The sky full of sun and frothy clouds. The crepe myrtle blossoms luscious. I had a writing assignment due.

But the worst kind of people to work with are those who are toxic. Working with a toxic person causes all kinds of problems. They arrive with drama and demands and (eventually) leave you in their cloud of negativity, f eeling exhausted and mistrustful.

The Disciplined Leader Series To some, the word discipline is a dirty word. It’s a word they hate to hear and hate to use. After all, discipline doesn’t sound sexy. The word connotes a dying to self. A falling in line. A giving up of oneself. Photo by Nirav Insomniac. And it does. But that’s not bad. Discipline is a needed trait as a leader.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

I am keenly aware of the weather. I garden (not as much as I should though - my garden at the office got away from me). I also do walking meeting and on days when I have no walking meetings, I usually walk outside. Danby Appliances has a window and portable air conditioning business. I know - not really appliances but they have compressors just like fridges and freezers so we sell them.
