IMPARTIALITY
This word...this word IMPARTIALITY is a JOKE!
It is a joke because far too many ignorant, immature, uneducated, or unwilling to learn individuals blissfully misuse this word and what it means an its implications to active and future relationships.
Up and coming leaders either know what this word TRULY means and how to used or just stop trying any attempt at leading others.
If you are not willing to learn then you are NOT willing to lead others.
Also, do not kid yourself with that nonsense of that you hold a position in the family, you have a degree, or that you are a parent, if you are not willing to learn then you are NOT FIT to lead.
What does this have to do with IMPARTIALITY?
Leaders must always be impartial. To be honest and great leaders, the must be impartial at all time.
However, there are always favorites to be had. Managers have their favorites.
Managers (not leaders) are always wanting to be accepted and will pay homage and honor those who are recognized as being at the beck and call of the manager without hesitation or reservation. These individuals are the known as YES-MEN. In the tragedy of Julius Caesar, the Roman Emperor surrounded himself with YES-MEN. They called Caesar great and never a bad word was heard.
While the YES-MEN knew of Caesar's impending demise they did nothing to help prevent the fatality. They stayed on Caesar's good side till the end. The emperor wanted this and those not in-line with the "leader" quickly found themselves on the wrong end of the whip.
Bad, bad manager. This is the path for far too many people that refuse to accept that with the good the bad must also come. Thus they play favorites and refuse to acknowledge that while having YES-MEN around is nice, it is also NOT good. We need YES and NO. We need good and bad. We need both to stay grounded.
Impartiality helps us succeed because we can take the good and bad. We enjoy the time with the YES-MEN as well as learn something from those that say NO.
Practice IMPARTIALITY by keeping the YES and NO around you, always.
Fail to do so might just find yourself one day saying, "ET TU, BRUTE."
