Draw of the cards - Kim Carnes

Chance you take - Carnes

We often get into situations where you feel can feel obliged to 'do the right thing'. But who's 'right thing' card are you playing when you go?

Yours or someone else's. It might be someone you may want to please, impress or simply stay on the right side of, either at home or in the workplace. A good reason if ever there was.

 

Of course, when it comes to our loved ones doing the right thing is part of living in harmony with our nearest and dearest. However, in the workplace, it can be harder to push back against an over-bearing colleague or even a CEO making ever increasing and unrealistic demands.

 

Over the years, I've seen plenty good people take the easy road and get railroaded into 'doing the right thing' instead of saying the right thing, when doing so would be the right thing to do for them.

 

Now, if you are in a similar situation why not consider the next time a minor crisis occurs, to stand back, take a deep breath and point out the bleeding obvious and stand by your guns - in the nicest possible way of course.

 

It might just work in your favour.
