Rapid, Untimely Promotions We all have heard people (especially CEOs and rapidly-promoted employees) talking about rapid promotions in a very positive light, citing benefits like retaining top talent, accelerated learning, new perspectives, workplace competition, reputation and cost saving, but they want us to overlook the disadvantages of such actions which will eventually make the entire organisations pay dearly. Promoting employees too quickly can have several drawbacks, and damage the organisation in the long run. I have divided the potential drawbacks (casualties) into three categories that impact three levels of any organisation. Casualty 1: Clients Untimely and rapid promotions can affect customer relationships, especially if employees with limited experience are in customer-facing roles. There are multiple instances in which experience is of utmost criticality, and inexperienced employees can further worsen a bad situation with a client. In that case, customer satisfaction and ...

A Little Motivation. I spoke to a wonderful person yesterday. He is working as a manager in a huge academic coaching chain. During our conversation about his staff not being efficient enough, he said that sometimes, he has to shout at his staff to get things done and remind them of getting tasks done. He also mentioned that he tries to connect with them over the weekend and asks about their well-being. I responded with the 5P model that I have created for corporate leadership. 1.

Professionalism: As a manager, they are your responsibility. Their professionalism is dependent on your efforts, connection, and constantly working WITH...

Toxicity destroys a collaborative work environment like rust destroys metal. Authoritativeness, Bias, Dishonesty, Lying, Targeting, Mobbing, Ganging Up, Favouritism, Sycophancy, Bootlicking, and Indifference are all the factors that result in a toxic and insufferably hostile environment for people who give their all for a conducive and a positive culture. Toxicity craves dominance and would destroy entire departments to retain that. Scapegoating, spreading hatred, and a vicious gang culture is one way to retain dominance for them. Once they have an authoritative figure under their direct influence, they can exercise their insolent, brutal, and blind might to cause harm to innocents and the entire organizations. In such cases, the "good" ones who think they have integrity and unity, remain silent for the fear of consequences. Such are the people, spineless and complacent in the act of the destruction of organizations. They forget that these snakes will come afte...
