This guy hit the nail right on the head. Unfortunately it took me many years of embarrassing mistakes to pick this up. I've read so many books on being a better CEO and managing others, but not one of them put it this directly. Great post. Wow, how true. This guy hit the nail right on the head.

I believe this is true with, not just a managing situation, but in every relationship we have. We cannot make strong, long-lasting relationships with people unless we are sure of who we are and what we want. If we are true to ourselves then the relationships we build will be true, whether it is a friend or a family member or an employee. I totally agree with Dee.

It's all about loving ourselves...we can use our imagination to see how we'd like to be managed and then manage ourselves in that way. We are in a new family and unfortunately most people tend to take their behaviours and patterns, fears and joys, etc from their original family right into work with them. As a Peace Negotiator, Mediator and Relationship Expert I help business owners and corporate leaders who are exhasperated with the complexity of industrial and employee resolution. Assumptions, misunderstandings, projections , etc happen...it's important to check these out...otherwise we can withdraw, stop working so well, withhold, lose interest...act out instead of being aware of what we feel and checking out what's going on for the other.
