Leadership and 10 Traits to be Aware Of

Photo by August de Richelieu Leadership traits to be aware of and not only avoid people with them but also ensure you do not develop these yourself! I have seen it time and time again where the guy on the shop floor will help anyone who needs it, they complain about bad management practices and swears blind that if they get up the ladder, they will make changes. The problem is, when they…

Mushroom Management

Photo by Kiwihug Mushroom management is maybe a term not so often used. However, most working people would have complained about having “Been treated like a mushroom” at least once in their career. So I can take a stab that most people will also understand that being treated like a mushroom. Is being kept in the dark, fed on sh**. Anyone sticking their head about the crowd having their heads cut…

Nepotism in the Workplace

Photo by Kristina Flour I would imagine Nepotism in the workplace is something everyone in the workforce has seen first-hand. Some have heard of it happening. You may have even been a victim of it. That time you have been overlooked for that position due to the boss’s friend or relative getting the job. The subject is very emotive, especially when you ask people whether it is right or…

Entitlement is a Disease

Photo by Sora Shimazaki Entitlement is a disease sweeping through western liberal society. When or how it will end is anyone’s guess. With the entitled coming together and having entitled children, I do not see it ending soon. It is quite poignant that I am writing this article in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday. The reason you will see towards the end of the article. Why call Entitlement a…

Entitlement in the Workplace

Photo by rickey123 I am sure that over recent years, we have all seen, witnessed or been a target of entitlement in the workplace.

Male Menopause

Photo by Inzmam Khan Not so many years ago, male menopause was not understood or recognised. It would be just the brunt of a joke when referring to a man. Who had gone out and bought a new sports car or had just got a new girlfriend half his age. It was generally referred to, and to some extent still is, the “Midlife Crisis”. This article is not to look at the medical side of the problem as I…

Unwritten Rules at Work

Photo by Aaron Burden Since birth, we have been guided by a set of social norms. Which effectively are unwritten rules that we live by. These unwritten rules guide how we live and determine how people react to us. In times gone by, most of these rules were called “good manners”. These would guide the behaviour of a lady or a gentleman. Unfortunately, some of these rules are no longer…

Toxic Employees

Photo by Nadine Shaabana Toxic employees can be as bad if not worse than a bad manager or even inept leadership. Toxic employees are typically overconfident and selfish and generally understand how to walk the fine line between right and wrong to ensure they do not fall foul of company policy. They generally do not cooperate with others or respect their peers because they’re always looking out…

Imposter Syndrome

Photo by Rishabh Dharmani Previous articles I have written can come back to Imposter syndrome. My article on mental health looked at men’s stubbornness when it comes to admission of needing help. Then later we looked at a modern trend of “fake it till you make it”, which is covered again later in this article. So, as I have said before, I am not a mental health professional but have been forced…

Work-Life Balance

Photo by Fuu J Work-life balance refers to the equilibrium between work and personal life demands. It is about allocating time, energy, and attention to professional and personal pursuits to avoid excessive stress, burnout, and neglect of personal well-being. Achieving a work-life balance does not necessarily mean spending equal time on work and personal activities but instead finding a rhythm…

Using Instructional Design to Improve Learning Environments

Photo by Kenny Eliason Using Instructional design to improve learning environments is a concept slowly becoming a requirement in education and industry.

How to Motivate unmotivated Employees

Photo by Brett Jordan How to Motivate unmotivated Employees follows very closely to employee engagement which I have written about before. Engagement is about having a sense of purpose, ownership, and commitment to the company. Motivation, however, is the willpower and drive to act on those feelings. Engaged employees will be highly motivated and generate the results managers look for. As…

While both involve influencing others, the intentions, methods, and outcomes of leadership and bullying couldn’t be more different. This article…
