"Takers"
|
| |
Freeloaders really annoy me.
You know the people I'm talking about-- those who willingly
suck you dry and take no responsibility for themselves or their
share of the load.
Let's look at freeloaders at work-- the under-contributing
employees, supervisors, or colleagues who rarely do what they are
supposed to do. If they do contribute, it's late, inappropriate,
inadequate, or just wrong. |

Read about the problem (freeloaders), the rest of the problem
(enablers who support freeloaders), and, of course, a
communication solution. |

Knowledge@Emory. February 14, 2008. Quoted extensively
in "Is There Room for Emotions in the Workplace?"
Excerpt, in response to a question about Hillary Clinton's
recent emotional outburst:
The challenge, says Sherron Bienvenu, professor emerita at
Guozueta, is that women and men tend to display different physical
emotional responses. "Women react physically when something
surprises or frightens them. Men are usually more controlled," she
says. "But Hillary (Clinton) has established herself as being very
direct and controlled, so her emotional moment appeared
inconsistent."

Remember: Chin
Up!
|
| |
Believe in yourself--who you are and what you have to offer.
Chin up! Know that your contributions are right on target
because you are smart, experienced, and prepared.
Chin up! Feel confident in what you know and what you are
worth.
Chin up! Stand up straight, hold your head high, face issues
and people head on.
Please email me with your comments, questions, and stories.
Thanks again for reading! --Sherron |
