I rarely comment on anything online but I felt the need to defend the author here. My organization has used their training for years now and it is not “word salad” nor promoting “New Age” workforce in my experience. It has made a positive impact on our company (a large one) and in my personal life. I would argue that the foundation of all of these articles is straight talk – but straight talk that engages everyone versus straight talk that displays power.

And I’m preparing my children to get to Mars or beyond – there is very little reason to return to the moon.

If that turns out to be the case, he/she may need to consider whether that organization is a good fit for him.

Thanks Kevin. As you suggest, it’s easy to hold people accountable when they report to you. But, in a truly accountable organization, subordinates hold their bosses to account. That’s when people begin to need skills. The conversation you describe, “Get back to work.” doesn’t work quite so well when you’re talking to your boss. Do you see this differently?

You provide no credible suggestions in any of your writings but use a large word salad to make it seem like you’ve done something. You’ve not.

Holding people accountable isn’t a new idea. Its what got this country this far and hopefully, when the country wakes up will hold people accountable in the future.

If people are chatting during work hours then tell them “if the conversation is not work related then save it for break time and get back to work.”

Straight talk is appreciated more than this coddling that you suggest. It’s what got us to the moon. And in the future, will be what gets us back there. Not the “petting zoo” that work places have become.

Kevin
