The Truth Will Set You Free

Image
"He that is humble, ever is striving to be trusted. He that is proud, ever is hiding his weakness." - Friedrich Nietzsche "People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and any-body who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster." - James Baldwin "To be proud and inaccessible is to show us a pride that is not our own, but a weakness that we would fain conceal." - Thomas Fuller #LeadersArentBullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #humility  #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #strength  This admiration and worship of power is what facilitates bullying in the workplace. Incompetent and insecure people place inordinate importance on being in charge and powerful to compensate for their lack of talent.

Equality and Free Market Capitalism

Image
"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." — Lord Acton "The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' is the height of luxury, the most delicious moral treat." — Aldous Huxley #power #good #selfless #love #capitalism #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #protect #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #community People who push others around are often driven by the need for power. It takes a conscious choice to bully and to derive pleasure in having power and control over others. #LeadersArentBullies
