KEYNOTES
When leaders are afraid to speak up
Too many workplace leaders are afraid to say anything for fear they will get in trouble…big trouble. If they ask for an employee to come to work on time, or do their job requirements, they may be told this is harassment! Or if they’re not sure about all the issues and words to be “correct,” best to say nothing at all. Instead of defaulting to nothing...
there is a better way…
Time to move from Old Norms to New Norms
After all the decades of trying to address inappropriate behaviours, aren’t you amazed that Canadian workplace leaders are still addressing harassment, bullying, discrimination and other weird behaviours? If you set down expectations, you can move your workplace from the outdated “old norms” to today’s “new norms.”
See how this works…
Great resource for workplace leaders
Here’s what one manager said about Stephen’s latest book.
“If workplace leaders take just some of Stephen’s practical advice, they will go a long way to rid their workplace of unacceptable behaviours such as harassment, discrimination and bullying. It’s clear that to create Stephen’s “New Norm,” we need to ACT NOW! We can’t wait any longer.”
Tatjana Zatezalo, Manager, OD,
Halifax Regional Municipality.
