What We Permit We Promote
Don’t let your emotions get in the way of your leadership or bottom line business results will suffer.
A business owner, my client, was mad. He felt disrespected by an employee. He knew he had to address the behavior, because if he didn’t, his silence would condone what the employee did and in the end it would negatively affect business.
This leader knows that what he permits, he promotes.
First thing first. He had to get control of his emotions. By self managing, he could he maintain his leadership based on integrity and set a good example. We all get mad, upset, frustrated. How you manage those emotions impacts your leadership. Calm down and focus. That’s what he did. Then he had to get all the facts (there was evidence of wrong doing, but more facts were needed) and then determine next steps on how to discuss the inappropriate behavior with the employee.
Don’t let you emotions get in the way of your leadership. And be clear on what you permit because that is what you promote.
