Want Five Surefire Ways to Kill Brainpower at Work? 
Here’s a list compiled by leaders who compete to destroy brain cells around them at work: 1. Wake up in REM! You’ll be sure to tick off anybody who comes within 10 feet of you ... at least until your brain reboots.
2. Give your latest opinion about everything that comes up. Better yet, tell everybody stories that show you already know pretty much everything knowable. 3. Don’t waste time listening. After all, why waste good working time with other's useless gibberish when you've got serious work to do.
4. Refuse to accept different ways of doing things. Why get messed up with individual differences … when you've already seen how one way works best.
5. Hide your secrets and hoard any extra business benefits! It only makes sense – especially sock away those rewards that come to leaders who kill more brain cells at work … than most people possess.
Know any leaders who'd qualify for this brain bashing competition?
Gee, Ellen. Do you think number 5 is why more people don't blog? :) Thanks for a great post!
