It seems a sad state of affairs if individuals in management now have to learn that being genuine, paying attention and voicing a constructive opinion is the way to respect from your staff.
great words ,wish there were more bosses with this understanding - i work in aged care - lack of support 4 staff - am going 2 print off this info & put it in communication folder - unsigned - (of course) -great work keep it up signed sotta- noosa/aust.
This si a great article and very inspiring. It is true that most of us in the work environment do not know how to communicate effectively. I am fortunate enough to work in a company where co workers on a daily basis are supportive and encouraging in every situation. We are a very motivated team! This article has reminded me how to approach every situation and conversation with more sensitivity and grace. Thank you! It would be wonderful to recieve updates on these kind of articles more often.
Thanks for the words of wisdom, it really helps to hear and be reminded of the things that help us all be more and more aware, and open to all that is genuine in each of us! Much appreciated!

I just began a job as a telephone triage nurse in a large non-profit Health Care Corporation with 24-25 clinics. The training was by other telephone nurses who had not gone through any training on how to train. They committed all of the errors mentioned in your article and more. I had 7 different trainers (with 7 different ways of doing things) It was a nightmare for all 20 or so of us except for the nurses who had been telephone triage nurses before. many of us just walked out due to the hateful demeaning treatment. To make a long story short, all of us knew the appropriate behavior and were puzzled at the terrible treatment we received: criticism, scolding, humiliation, etc. Unbelievable. Everyone knows that that kind of treatment dumbs you down and does not help you to learn like encouragement and kindness and positivity does. Then…..WHY is there so much of this garbage in the work place today? We all know what is appropriate, right???. Then how come the world of the workplace has come to be as it is???? In a social situation, we would not usually treat someone so badly….NOOOO, we would try to look our best. Then why does the co-worker or boss behave in the ways described in your article? I think that is the real question here.
