Right on the button in my view, but thanks for sharing it. Communicaing, the good and the bad, the positive and negative of the working environment and within it, is the real strength of a vibrant organisation. A strong organisation can take it and make of it what it is worth. Well done. Thank you for the comment. Right on the button in my view, but thanks for sharing it.

People know when someone is "called on the carpet" just as they know when the manager ignores the problem. The cautionary point here it that the value of this kind of a wrap is in direct proportion to how strongly the manager holds his people's trust and if he's know for walking his talk. If it's only done annually as some kind of rah-rah rally-the-troops effort it will be recognized as such and dismissed. People aren't stupid (much as some leaders would like to believe otherwise).

I have a little reservation about it and it is that others may share a perception that an individual is not "pulling his or her weight"! It may be a case of inappropriate behaviour or some other manifestation that other colleagues are aware of and expect to see addressed. Addressing the matter in private can continue to cause annoyance and frustration amongst fellow exployees, unless, of course there is an immediate turnaround and clear evidence of corrected behaviour patterns on behalf of the errant one. Again, addressing inappropriate of inefficient behaviour in the group setting can be ineffective as those most conscientious feel they are being included in negative criticism and their preparedness to be efficient is not appreciated. I very much liked the positive content of the address to the troops and the personalisation of the very positive comments of increased commitment and productivity. I intend to take a lesson from it and put it into effect. I would be happy to have similar articles in my Blog: http://LeadorBeLed.blogspot.com Best wishes for the New Year.
