Matt Paknis Leadership Development

"The corruption of the best things gives rise to the worst." - David Hume "When you don't take a stand against corruption you tacitly support it." - Kamal Haasan "Journalism should be devoted to putting pressure on power, on nonsense, on chicanery of all kinds. If it invites a lawsuit, well, bring it on." - David Remnick #leadersarentbullies #metoo #stepup

"Good manners are cost effective. They not only increase the quality of life in the workplace, they contribute to employee morale, embellish the company image, and play a major role in generating profit." - Letitia Baldrige #healthyworkplaces #stepup #psychologicalsafetyatworkact It should be unsurprising that workplace bullying in the United States costs organizations as much as $14K per employee per year in lost performance. #LeadersArentBullies

"A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain." - William James #leadersarentbullies #mentalhealth #BeTransparent #metoomovement #psychologicalsafetyatworkact

"Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself." - Gloria Steinem "Trust is built with consistency." - Lincoln Chafee "Transparency increases credibility and accountability." - Park Won-soon "Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." - Helen Keller

 

"Sensing control of your life with realistic expectations of day-to-day challenges is key to stress management; perhaps it's the key ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life." - Marilu Henner "Predators want silence & control. It feeds their power." - Viola Davis #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #mentalhealth #metoo Speaking of great costs, the emotional and physiological damage induced by workplace bullying extracts a significant human cost, with deleterious organizational implications in the form of sickness, vandalism, low production, and absenteeism. #innerpeace
