    About this Episode

     

     

    The Double Edge Sword of Loyalty

    • There are bad leaders out there, no doubt

     

    • “Management reserves the right to manage poorly”

     What you should expect:

    • Fair & consistent treatment

     

    • Genuine concern for your wellbeing & development

     

    • The tools & support you need to do your job

     

    • To be challenged and to be made to demonstrate your proficiency

     

    What your leaders should expect

    • For you to do your job (Mark Von Alpen Fully Involved)

     

    • For you to be engaged in the organization

     

    • For you to respect our craft & our profession

     

    • For you to respect the right of the leader to make decisions

     

    • To ask questions

    So when the leaders are not “loyal” ask

    • Why do I think that?

     

    • Exactly what did they do to make me say that?

     

    • Can I help to make things better?

     

    • How are my skills, it is easy to be critic in the recliner.
