13 Things Leaders Should Never Say..

1. That Customer Drives Me Crazy! We all experience crazy deadlines in a high-pressure environment. Passing along our feelings of stress to our staff can cause them to feel less motivated working for a particular customer. Make sure they don't lose sight of the fact that every single customer is equally important. 2. I'm the Boss! No one wants to work for an organization that doesn't respect their commitment level or humanity. If your co-workers wanted to take orders, they would have joined the army. Unless you are the military, avoid pulling rank. Every decision is a dialogue. Even if you do have the final say and aren't in full agreement (which is probable), don't make "I'm the boss" the ultimate reason for any decision. I think that the Game of Thrones character, Tywin Lannister, said it best when he said, "Any man who must say, I am the king, is no true king." Likewise, anyone who has to say "I am the boss" is no tr...

The best way to explain this is to interpret ”remembrance” as ”attention”, because God is never forgetful.
