Courage is......following your conscience instead of "following the crowd." Sacrificing personal gain for the benefit of others. Speaking your mind even though others don't agree. Taking complete responsibility for your actions and your mistakes. Doing what you know is right, regardless of the consequence.
All employees... deserve to be treated as responsible adults, if that is the behavior we expect of them.
You earn the right to expect recognition by giving it! It's that simple
Remember that I'm Human. Before you judge me or decide how you'll deal with me, walk awhile in my shoes. If you do, I think you'll find with more understanding we can meet in the middle and walk the rest of the way together.
We judge ourselves mostly by our intentions, but others judge us mostly by our actions.
