As a leader, manager, director, or supervisor (pick a title), do you stand by your employees in good times and bad?
What about standing by your decisions? You are presented with a problem. Through the cognitive process (yes, you need to think it out) you may be posed with several outcomes.
Look at every aspect of the situation. Seek the advice from a trusted friend/mentor. And don’t look back. Trust your instinct and your judgement.
“The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.”
Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President of the United States (1869-1877)
Good one.
We call those friends 2 AM friends. The person you will call, right after 911, when in time of crisis. Thank God for 2 AM friends.
