Yes, Beth, our Cajun culture is rich and flavorful and sadly, we often take it for granted. I appreciate your feedback and hope to hear from you, and better yet, connect in person soon! Wishing you a Blessed Christmas and Prosperous New Year!

Thank you for your feedback, Maxine! I’m no different than the team members who need to get feedback to know if they’re on the right track. I appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Comment on You Can’t Want It For Them or You Can Lead a Horse to Water by Jennifer Ledet

Thank you Myra, for your comments. I have seen it time and time again, that leaders are reluctant to take action when someone is either a bad fit for the company or a bad fit for the position they’re in. When top performers see this inaction, they either become so disengaged that they become under-performers, or they say “I’m outa here!” Leaders really need to have the courage to take action – and the sooner the better! Thanks for your comments…

Excellent post, Jennifer.

The bus analogy is so fitting. We often hear people say “she’s just not a good fit” but they don’t always stop to determine whether the “fit” inconsistency is at the organizational level or the position level. This, alone, is a very important point you’ve provided.

Your warning that top performers are watching is so important. Nothing deflates morale worse than inaction when it’s warranted.

In the entrepreneurial community we are encouraged to “hire slowly and take corrective (personnel) action quickly”. Unfortunately, we tend to do the opposite – and to everyone’s detriment.

Thanks for sharing this.

LOL! Yes, Robin, and the neutral ground sure comes in handy for meeting up with friends for those Mardi Gras parades!

I really like the neutral ground concept to apply in the workplace. As important there as it on parade day!

What a good reminder of a critical skill for leaders. Unfortunately, most of us get so busy in a day we forget to pause and actually look at the person. Thanks for reminding us.
