| Resolve and Succeed |
Four ways to guarantee resolution success
-
Don't over-commit. If you have too many resolutions it's difficult to even begin.
-
Write it down. Writing down any goal makes it more tangible and more likely that you will stick to it.
-
Share it. Tell at least one or two people about your goal for the year. Once it's public, you will be more likely to stick to it.
-
Revise and revisit. Every month or two, check in with yourself to make sure that you're still on track. If necessary re-commit to your goal and move forward again. |
| Leaders are sometimes less ethical and more hypocritical |
|
 A fascinating new study finds that as people move higher on the ladder of power, they become less strict about their own ethical behavior, but more strict about the behavior of others.
What does this mean for you?
- If you are a leader, it is critical to remember that being at the top does not make it okay to behave less ethically or hold others to a higher standard than yourself. In fact, the opposite should be true. Leading by example remains the gold standard!
- If you are an employee, it can be frustrating and demoralizing to experience a seeming double standard for ethical behavior--one set of rules for the boss and another for the staff. Remember that although you can't change anyone else's behavior, you can and must be responsible for your own, and behaving ethically is always the best choice. In addition, resist the urge to model your behavior after a manager or boss who doesn't live and work up to the highest standards.
