Small quibble: You used the wrong word throughout this article. What you meant to use was "bosses" not "leaders". Real leaders don't make the kinds of grating mistakes that you cite, but bosses definitely do. True leadership understands or t least make every attempt to understand. Bosses don't.

I would have to agree. I actually was going to use β€œmanagers” but β€œleaders” kept me at 50 characters for the title so YouTube doesn’t chop it off on some devices.

Depending on the leader, it might still help for them to make sure they understand these issues, but your point is well stated.

If character-limit's a problem, you could always use PHB?

Woulda inserted a :smirk: there but this MD implementation doesn't have the full emoji-palette?

LOL! Nice. Really trying not to bash management with this one but to help. With how hard it is to get folks attention sometimes I have to use curiosity headlines like this. I try to make sure it’s not too β€œclickbaity”.

Heh... Understandable. I, too, apply different levels of "filtering" depending on audience.
