3 ridiculous things we say & believe at work

 

We say and believe certain things at work that wouldn’t fly in our personal lives.

Here are 3 of the most ridiculous:

  1. “It’s business, it’s not personal.” Really? What goes through your mind when someone says that to you? That’s right, brace yourself…things are about to get real personal.

  2. “No news is good news.” Let’s break this down. When things are going great, you won’t hear a word. The minute something is lacking or late, you’ll hear about it loud and clear.

  3. “I have an open-door policy.” Seems like a winner…until we take a closer look. This mindset puts the responsibility of initiating interactions on others.

If applying this workplace “wisdom” at home seems laughable, let’s take seriously our commitment to stop using it at the office.

We can do better.

Let’s increase the intention of what we say and believe at work.
