Matt Paknis Leadership Development

"The fish rots from the head first, meaning when organizations fail, it's because its leaders are corrupt and set bad examples." - J.R. Ridinger "When leadership fails, the entire organization pays the price for their poor choices." - Frank Sonnenberg #character #integrity #choice #protect #speakout #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #save #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #stepup #help Ending bullying lays squarely on the shoulders of management, executives, and boards. Because, in a bullying workplace, management knowingly and willingly puts their people in harm’s way. They are all complicit. #endbullying

"A house divided against itself cannot stand." - Abraham Lincoln "Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work." - Vince Lombardi #commitment #collaboration #teamwork #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #peace ##psychologicalsafetyatworkact #multisum

"Corporations now require employees to forego their right to participate fully in democracy, and regulate their morals and behavior both at work and outside work." - C.J. Maclinhas "Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us." - William O. Douglas "When (Federal Judges) indulge themselves in abuse, when they deny others a fair trial, when they resort to collusion and complicity with corporations, then our democratic society is outraged, and democracy is baffled." - J. William Fulbright #FreeSpeech #FairTrial #Right #democracy #usa  #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #truth #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #liberty #freedom

Mahatma Gandhi: “It is wrong and immoral to seek to escape the consequences of one's acts.” Stephen R. Covey: “Accountability breeds response-ability." Proverb: “Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.” #accountability #consequence #Justice #equality #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #truth #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #freedom #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #Respect Putting a stop to bullying requires turning the workplace culture upside down. Bullies must be held accountable and given just consequences for their actions. Punishment must replace promotions and rewards.

"Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in the bonds of fraternal feeling." - Abraham Lincoln "We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions—bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality." - Franklin D. Roosevelt #common #together #unity #freedom #equality #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #listen #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #reachout
