Matt Paknis Leadership Development

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." — Abraham Lincoln  "When corporations can get away with crimes just because they are wealthy or have the right connections, the scales are tipped against fairness and equality." - Suzy Kassem "There is no greater indictment of judges than the fact that honest people are afraid to go into court, while criminals and corporations swagger out its revolving doors." — Thomas Sowell #constitution #rights #FreeSpeech #FairTrial #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #justice #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #TruthWins

“The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them." - Ida B. Wells-Barnett “Do not be silent; there is no limit to the power that may be released through you.” - Howard Thurman “Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” - Elie Wiesel #speakup #light #power #ExposeTheTruth #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #protect #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #encourage Employees and children should expect / demand safe organizations and processes and encouragement to report bullying.  They need executives who won't tolerate it.  In all abuse scandals, executives were aware and chose to remain silent. “See something, do something!"

"America remains mankind's best hope. Their eyes are on us, counting on us to protect the peace, promote new prosperity, and provide for a better world." - Ronald Reagan "The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on." - Barack Obama #Hope #protect #promote #provide #grit #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #tough #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #nevergiveup

Thomas Jefferson:  "I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare to challenge our government to a trial by strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." Billy Corriher:  "Big Business tightening its grip on our courts. Instead of serving as a last resort for Americans seeking justice, judges are bending the law to satisfy the concerns of their corporate donors." #democracy #equality #justice #liberty #truth #leadersarentbullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #freedom #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #SpeakUp

"Evil prospers in the shadows." - John Curran  #LeadersArentBullies #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #light  #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #truth  For predators to be held accountable and bullying and abuse to cease, #transparency is essential. When an organization's members (workers, students, citizens, etc.) learn to distinguish healthy leaders from bullies  and thriving from toxic cultures. When people are protected and encouraged to report egregious behaviors, transparency will be normalized.
