Matt Paknis Leadership Development

Employees and school children should not have to police their organizations. They need direction and support to report / address abuse and bullying.  Healthy leaders and organizations enable and allow reporting with simple processes / mantras like: “See something, say something.” "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." - Plato "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr. #leadersar entbull ies #stepup #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #DignityAtWorkAct

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." - Edith Wharton #leadersarentbullies #stepup #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #DignityAtWorkAct When employees and families with children choose to only affiliate with good and decent organizations, and to report the egregious behavior in bad organizations, bad behaviors will start to cease. #Transparency is essential. Evil prospers in the shadows.

"Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results." - Willie Nelson #leadersarentbullies #stepup #healthyworkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #DignityAtWorkAct #Resilient people acknowledge reality and the problem and look for positive outcomes and options. Ask yourself: am I approaching this with positivity?
