Fighter for my people

'I can tell that you have a very open and strong relationship with your staff," Jaclyn said enviously at Tehran Grand Bazaar.

If you want people to back you, back them, back them, back them. I am loyal downward; and I spread credit downward.

Every leader wants people to see his vision and follow his lead. He needs loyalty to make that happen. The leader needs to provide loyalty to get it. How can they complain about subordinates' lack of loyalty if leaders don't give it to them 1st? You get what you give.

Privately I might take them aside and try to "correct" their thinking, but I don't let them roast on the open fire.
