It Will Change Your Life!

It can be one thing to casually invite someone to attend religious services with you, or to occasionally mention a religious belief or practice. But when you repeatedly and openly talk about your religious beliefs, or proselytize, to the point that it offends a co-worker, you can easily be accused of harassment.

Digitally Remastered! You know, one of the things that's easy to forget is that our team members pay attention to every little thing we say and do. Like it or not, we set the example. And when we ask an employee to do something that's questionable—like making up an excuse because we've forgotten something or don't want to deal with someone— it has an impact. It might not seem like much at the time, but all those "little tears" can eventually begin to rip our organization's integrity fabric to pieces. As leaders, we need to hold ourselves and our peers accountable to make sure that doesn't happen.

LOCK OUT Action (from The 3-OUT Approach to Workplace Safety)

Most intruders have a relatively short amount of time to inflict as much damage as they can before they’re stopped by authorities, before they end things themselves or before they are stopped – by you! They are running against the clock and tend to take the path of least resistance. As a result, they don’t want to spend time trying to enter a locked or barricaded space, costing precious seconds in their pursuit to kill as many as they can.
