Reflecting on a powerful mantra today: “Be the person you want to work with.” As professionals, we often seek collaboration, integrity and positivity in our workplace interactions. Let’s lead by example and embody these qualities ourselves. 🤝

Understanding Responsibility and Accountability: Key Differences and Importance Responsibility and Accountability are the most important elements of any organization whether professional social, personal, or. They are essential to shaping the behavior of individuals as well as organizational culture and ultimately the success of projects. Let’s explore each one and examine the differences. https://lnkd.in/dVewnvKS

On empathy vs compassion The differentiation between empathy and compassion is arbitrary. On many websites, it is claimed that compassion is sort of the desire to take action to help someone, whereas empathy supposedly is more akin to an awareness of another‘s suffering. It‘s not the case at all. The root meaning of compassion is „to suffer with“, and the root meaning of empathy is „to feel with“. They are one and the same, also in their historical usage. Compassion was never about activity, or doing something. The differentiation of today is based on the projections of some people. And it is important because actions to help another never require compassion or empathy, just motivation. Empathy and compassion don‘t drive to action, they open up a person‘s being for what is alive in another.

Friendly behavior in a professional context doesn’t necessarily mean treating someone as a friend. It’s simply an approach to help others feel comfortable and improve communication. The word 'too' can often have a subtly negative impact; being 'too' friendly, for instance, may not always be appropriate. It's important to avoid extremes of 'too' in any behavior.

At the end of the day, it’s not about being less friendly, but being strategic about how you engage with colleagues and stakeholders, ensuring that your kindness is met with respect.

If you think about it deeply enough, the difference between “accountability” and “bureaucracy” boils down to a mix of attitude and culture.

The dairy of the CEO If you just started a new role… Listen actively to your team to understand their perspectives and the company culture. Set clear priorities by identifying immediate goals and focus areas. Communicate your strategic vision clearly, foster strong relationships with key stakeholders, and assess the company's strengths and weaknesses.

A message to every colleague at work: Do not compete with your colleague in a reprehensible competition. You must mature and know that your life is different from his, as are your circumstances, abilities, thinking, ambition, and skills. There is no need for comparison. Your colleague's success does not mean your failure, and your success does not mean your colleague's failure. Rather, these are written provisions. Do not hate or envy, and always make your colleague's success happy and push you to compete positively to succeed. If he falls, take his hand and help him, because the summit is wide enough for everyone, and we must all be cooperative in our work environment, elevate ourselves, and create the culture of the place.
