| Quotations: Small quotes on employee mistake, accountability, and labor law postings |
“I believe in letting people know that if they make a mistake it’s not the end of the world. What would be the end of the world is making a mistake and hiding it. If people aren’t willing to make mistakes they’re never going to make any right decisions. On the other hand, if they make mistakes all the time, they should go work for a competitor.”
--Sandy Weill, chairman and co-CEO of Citigroup, Inc.
ON ACCOUNTABILITY
“Because accountability cannot be delegated, it takes a leap of faith to trust that others not only have the capacity to step up but also have the commitment to make whatever contribution is required. Most often this becomes crystal clear when the leader is delegating decision-making responsibility. At that moment an inner voice says, ‘Wait just a minute! You mean they are going to make the decisions, but I have to live with the consequences?’ Yet the leader needs to trust that these actions will work out. Through experience, we gain confidence that people will rise to the occasion when given the chance.”
Quoted from Bob Gunn, “20/20 Hindsight.” Strategic Finance.
LABOR LAW POSTINGS:
Keeping you in compliance
Most businesses are required to post specific labor-law information in the workplace. Failure to properly display posters can mean fines of $100 per violation. We can help assure that your state and federal labor-law postings are correct. Simply contact our office, or check with the U.S. Department of Labor at (202) 219-8211. (Contact your State’s labor department for information on state-specific requirements, and remember that if your business operates in more than one state, requirements may vary).
Helping you keep up-to-date on government labor regulations is just part of the service we provide.
