“Dave should have picked me to be on that special project team. He’s my boss. He should have known I wanted to participate.”. Should. Such a limiting word. It gifts us with frustration and anger. “I should have been asked to lead the discussion group. They should have known that I’m good at that kind of work.”. Should. It leads us down paths of disappointment and resentment.

By Linda Fisher Thornton With all the inappropriate behavior in the news, I thought it would be a good time to explore the difference between actions that are CONVENIENT and those that are APPROPRIATE. Instead of saying "I'll know appropriate when I see it" it seems necessary to break it down and articulate the difference clearly. So here goes.

The day started off like a normal day or so it seemed. I awoke to my alarm going off. From there, I got dressed, grabbed a quick bite to eat, and spent a relaxing day with Lok. I also tossed in a quick workout on the elliptical. However, partway through the day, I started to feel groggy. My reading comprehension seemed to wane. My eyes began to blur.

A Reel Leadership Article There have been many classic heist films in the history of cinema. Heat, The Bank Job, Baby Driver , Ocean’s 11 and 12 (fun little fact, I viewed Ocean’s 12 at my bachelor party oh so many years ago), and Bonnie And Clyde to name a few. Heist films are all about a team pulling off an impossible job. They rob a bank, steal a bunch of cars, or knock over a casino.

These past few weeks, we have seen what feels like an unusually high number of people faced with accusations of wrongdoing, sexual misconduct and unethical behavior. For most of them, the first response is one of denial and disputation. But as evidence and corroboration emerge, that strategy becomes harder to maintain. That’s when most people turn to a public apology–a statement expressing remorse over their actions and acknowledging that they’ve been hurtful to others.

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.

What you say and how you say it goes far in telling those around you how serious you are (or aren’t). Here are some phrases you can hear every day in many workplaces.
