Thank you for the comment. Now, more than ever, authenticity is needed. We need leaders who respect those they lead, and employees who contribute from their full potential.

The workplace is difficult for many people. No one seems to address it--it is swept under the carpet. People are afraid to speak up, especially in hard times. Your suggestions can help people be more authentic.

I agree that rivalry and internal competition is a major problem. And employees who are competitive and defensive are not engaged in their work.

That's a very direct approach and I like it. If we continue ignoring this aspect the problem won't get solved. We need a new human resources management approach, I a more constructive and more a motivating one.

You shared an amazing amount of wisdom in a very few paragraphs Danna.I suggest anyone that was quickened by your words take a minute to read your web article on finding/building ones integrity in a toxic environment. Excellent!
I am just back from the Dali Lama's Seeds of Compassion Event here in Seattle. I was struck by his reminder to cultivate self-love and self-compassion as a prerequist external change.

The line that stands out to me is:

...to see enlightened leaders...

I've written and spoken for years about how I look up to, and surround myself by, mentors, coaches and teachers.

I think it is of utmost importance that we see what we can be, before we be what we can see...make sense?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm subscribed, and looking forward to hearing more from you via this forum.

Thank you for your comments. It is often hard to satep out from the crowd. It takes authentic power and relying on one's inner wisdom rather than external validation. As more people understand tht they will be less willing to be a follower, but instead be a leader in integrity.

Danna,
I agree with your thoughts on the workplace. Each of us has a hard time trusting others so we keep our guard up and put on political faces that inhibit our growth, relationships and work. It's difficult to be the one who steps out from the crowd and makes the decision to trust but I believe that is one way we can begin to heal ourselves and the workplace.
Beautiful blog by the way.
