Maybe how she sees society judging is exactly how she judges

272 words in Gettysburg address
We are all created equal, no?

 

Want to be brave? Just do it and tell us afterwards.

What if Jenny just did what she said she was going to do, wear the bikini?

Without fanfare, hoopla, controversy.

What was her purpose in telling her friends?

Did she know all along people would be judgmental?

How did she answer the questions of what catches her eye?

Why doesn’t she wear a bikini every summer?

And finally, a closing thought here.

They aren’t clueless, although prevailing evidence suggests otherwise

Her boss wants her to write a bunch of examples showcasing how great her performance was for the past year.

She really doesn’t want to do it because:

  • It will not influence her pay
  • No one will ever read it after the annual work review is completed
  • Shouldn’t her boss already know how amazing she is?

A once a year performance appraisal is perhaps one of the biggest crocks in the western hemisphere.

When a teen violates a curfew, the parent doesn’t wait until the end of the year to go over it.

Parents are very busy people, just like bosses.

Figure it out people. Figure it out.

There is comfort in having a great excuse.

Great excuses give us the freedom to choose easily.

Deadly isn’t it?

A bizarre experience…

So funny how all those important issues at work seem so trivial compared to the life of a loved one.

Yes we can love our job and worry about the business all the time.

Just keep things in check.

Okay?

Anybody can buy a nice business suite, read a bunch of business best sellers, and recite inspirational leadership strategy.

But here’s the ultimate test of leadership.

The first victory in leadership integrity is a home win.

Very simply, this means are we an example or a warning?

As a leader. A parent. A spouse or partner.

With our health, our attitude, our service to our community, and at home where no one can see us.
