If you are in management or a senior staff – higher standards apply to you. As management, or senior, people will look up to you. What you do sets an example for the rest. That means that you sometimes just have to suck it up and go with the corporate line – even when it sucks.
Whatever you do – the rest will copy. The damage of your sloppiness will be multiplied by how many employees you have. If you are 10 minutes late and have 20 employees that sees it, 20 people will be 10 minutes late. This means 200 lost minutes instead of just 10.
Make sure you follow these rules
- Always be on time
- Follow company policy like a fundamentalist
- Smoke in the designated smoke area
- Use the recycle bin
- You know the rest…
