Being direct, frank, authentic and natural self is ok but below is not. We should not be normalizing this:
- Achieve targets literally at any cost
- Repeated bad behaviour in hierarchy
- Messing up people’s personal lives
- Using words like professionalism & seasoned to avoid doing what needs to be done
- Playing mind games with people fresh out of college
- Delegate and then take credit for other’s work
- Judge people without knowing context
- Promote silos, avoid team work and mess up collaboration and creativity
- Pay someone less than market rate if we can afford the real salary
- Treat people like trash and take advantage of them
- Not fix the fixable
- Not doing the right thing
- Bring personal biases into the organization
- Have different set of rules for the same input and output for different groups of people
- We are not at war, we are in information technology / services industry
- Most people lose their cool or misbehave once in a while or have a bad day once in a while but if that is a habit ingrained in the culture of the organization affecting large parts of the organization then there is a problem that needs a relook
