Old fashioned it may be

I have noticed an increasing trend for very senior people to say they will do one thing but actually end up doing something else, or even doing nothing at all.

These people leave a trail of puzzled, perplexed and frustrated colleagues, staff and customers in their wake. It is as if they are saying that their agenda, their way of seeing things, is the only way. The reality is that there is an over inflated ego at work. It demonstrates a fundamental lack of respect for other people and this behaviour will always damage trust in any relationship.

If this occurs during a director appraisal, I try to remind the culprit that only they can make a success of their life and work but that they cannot do it alone.
