There are bosses, who do not like the one upmanship and want to make it appear that all the great ideas are generated by them. The bottom line is that people usually know that the one at the top is most often not the generator of all things great. Good analysis, Tony.

One of three things generally happen in these cases: the good employee leaves, the boss gets transferred or demoted, or he is coached and developed to improve behavior.

I am finding myself telling lots of stories these days to the young leaders/managers I supervise. I not only have stories about my own past/present and future as a leader/manager...but I have great history with the organziation and find myself as the mediator betweeen the directors and managers...even while sitting at the directors table.

I am finishing my first book, going for that D.Min and looking forward to whatever else He has in store for me...Letting Him have his way is uncomfortable at times and to whom much is given much is required for sure, but what I am finding out the most is that I must give myself fully to God and His people to see my true paths.
