once had a manager for whom every meeting was a battle ground, an opportunity to demonstrate how he was better than others. Slowly but surely, people started avoiding him. When he began to speak, everyone would simply disengage. Work suffered initially, and the team, eventually. Some good people
even left.

Time and again, we have been troubled by this question: what went wrong? What is it that made things go from bad to worse? Or worse, how do you know for sure that it was not your fault?

Time to face the mirror

Heard somebody whispering and concluded that it was about you? Every time somebody at work is having a ‘personal’ conversation, do you feel the need to interfere and point out that they should be ‘working’? Somebody has an opinion that you do not agree with, do you stomp your feet and walk out of the room? Do you have a hard time appreciating others, but are quick at finding faults? These are just questions that you need to be true to. If the answer to any of these is a yes, there might just be the need to recalibrate.
