Make sure you "Walk the Talk"

Dear blogmates, estava neste final de semana pensando o que mais poderia fazer para tornar este blog não só útil mas também interessante de se ler e me veio uma idéia: criar novas postagens com tópicos interessantes onde todos podem comententá-los, em inglês, preferencialmente, ou português. Deste modo, estarão em contato com o idioma aprendendo novas palvaras e podendo de alguma forma se expressarem no idioma.

O tópico que escolhi para este primeiro dia é "Walk the Talk" onde descorrerá sobre o questão das pessoas estarem em linha com o discurso que pregam. Tenho certeza que já se depararam com chefias que pregram uma coisa, mas fazem outra. O que isto pode trazer de consequências para a empresa em que trabalha?

Enjoy it!

    There's the boss who tells everyone to stay late, and then leaves promptly at 5:00 p.m. to go golfing. There's the supervisor who criticizes everyone for spending time on the Internet, but is discovered buying groceries online in the middle of the afternoon. And the CFO who recommends layoffs to stop "unnecessary spending," but then buys herself brand-new luxury office furniture.

    Do you know any of these people?

    There's hardly anything worse for company morale than leaders who practice the "Do as I say, not as I do" philosophy. When this happens, you can almost see the loss of enthusiasm and goodwill among the staff. It's like watching the air go out of a balloon - and cynicism and disappointment usually take its place.

    No matter what the situation is, double standards - witnessing people say one thing, and then doing another - always feel like betrayals. They can be very destructive. If this ever happened to you, you can probably remember that sense of disappointment and letdown.

    If you're in a leadership position...

  3. I loved this topic and the subject too. I realy consider "walk the talk" very important to get a real life, relationship, job etc. Unfortunately, the most of the people don´t worry about it, in my opnion. But, I try to do it so hard! I´ve loved to know that: "walk the talk". Thanks!
