This may have nothing to do with the leader who is asking; but it may have a lot to do with the fact that the leader is in a position of power. Or, it may be because the climate of the organization makes it hard for employees to feel comfortable giving their honest opinion. Accept responsibility for the feedback you hear.

It was a marker I could meaningfully connect to a higher purpose of employee happiness -one of the key principles of More Human Leadership. And more than anything else, pass the “supermarket test” so our employees could be proud of working for this company. Failing the Supermarket Test. It was on the record.

My clients’ surprise that our work together was so personal was starting to make sense. On the other hand, it’s so much easier, and less scary, to imagine successfully completing that big old project or getting that coveted promotion. Continuing success only comes with the tough work of ongoing personal change.

At the time we had two options before us: take our experiences from our previous jobs and attempt to become employees again (if possible) or take a gamble and become competitors ourselves. In the meantime, all sorts of friends and family have wished us luck on our enterprise. We are still waiting to see how it will all pan out.

Martin Luther King didn’t give “I have a plan&# speech, but “I have a dream&#.

I don’t know about you, but it’s almost as if we have raised a generation of leaders who feel they have a moral and ethical obligation to be politically correct – WRONG. Perhaps some may think so, but being authentic to my politically incorrect self, I think not. How sad is this? Are these extreme statements?

Synchronicity is such a blessing!
