One of the most common mistakes made by supervisors is to bully their way into a
conversation and when challenged with a legitimate reasons for asking the “why” of the
directive, they have to ponder for a moment, give it a long pause and reply “because I told you
so” giving no other explanation other than bullying out their demands either in private or
worse, in a public setting. Leaders that offer no leadership are not frontrunners. Leaders are not positional and are not designated or selected to lead as the role is purely situational and not based on title or authority.
How many times have you heard your supervisor tell you or shout at you these words “I don’t care how long it takes” and what about my favorite “because that’s the way I want it” leaving no room for compromise or further discussions. Attitudes such as this are known to be 100 % wrong and demonstrate poor leadership skills as well as ill preparation to be in a command position as part of a team or workforce. Bullying and belittling key members of a team or workforce is most unacceptable and destroys morale as well as any motivation the employee may possess up to that point when he or she hears these nasty comments directed towards them in a harsh and unpleasant manner or tone. It does not inspire people to work harder or increase productivity. In fact it hampers individual responsibilities normally acquired when someone takes pride in their work. Quantum leadership is the type of management style that dumps work and responsibility on others. It creates animosity and tension in the workplace one must remember that carrying a title, no matter how fancy or impressive, does not make the leader better than the rest. Ranting and raving as well as nagging or pushing people into work situations creates division among team members and management and must be avoided in order to maintain a harmonious environment. Most workers understand and accept the fact that certain positions carry with them specific responsibilities. They know that each person has a job to do as well as a specific purpose to complete. Stepping on toes does nothing to improve the skill or manner a worker functions or behaves. As a leader it is important that you don’t step on one employee to elevate your own sense of importance or value. Shouting and avoiding eye contact means you are talking above the head or more commonly called “over their heads” of those you want to listen to you but because of your arrogance, you are talking down and being demeaning in conduct. Leaders must recognize they are members of the same team and as such you both work for the organization for success and services provided. Remember that respect does not flow downstream but rather it moves both downstream and upstream as it must be mutual and flow both ways. If you want to be respected, you must show others respect. It is that simple.

There are a few lawyers who can take a case with bad facts and bad law and make it into something special. When you’re looking for that type of lawyer, it can be especially hard to find. Do you evaluate based on educational background? Number of accolades? Do you trust a referral from a friend? One lawyer may have done a good job for your friend, but that is because their situation was much different and the lawyer you need has a different focus. Do you look for a lawyer who is board certified in a particular field? If you are looking for a trusted Waco Local Counsel it is important to see what the people in that locality think of the lawyer’s services. Understanding the nuances of particular judges and local customs is critical in getting heard. There are few ways that it could pay off poorly to find the right lawyer for your case. That’s why it’s a safe bet to find the best people for your job.

Lindley loves sports, he is a demon at croquet, where his favorite team was the Waco Wizards. He worked as a tailor for 24 years, but was forced to give up the career he loved due to his lack of sewing skills. He spent his free time watching bowling on the internet; and he played chutes and ladders and poker almost every week night. He also enjoyed moving pictures and talkies. Hamilton Lindley is always leaning in to give advice that is not asked for and moving stuff that needs to stay in the same place.
