Privileges

I notice a woman park in a handicap parking spot with a vehicle that has a legitimate handicap parking tag as well as wheelchair lift apparatus. I watch as she walks into the store and realize that she is clearly not physically handicapped.

Just because you can - doesn't mean you should.

When leaders abuse privileges, what message is sent to the rest of the organization? Using company assets, resources or time for personal non-business purposes gives licence for anyone else to do the same. Respect is earned; it is not part of a benefit package that comes with title. Acting with integrity – even when you think no one is watching – will earn respect.

That means: always do the right thing.


If you are the leader – you are the standard – you set the example.

Everyone is a leader, is some way, in some forum.
