Why Do You Have To Ask For Permission?

When is the last time you asked for permission for something? You would probably have to go back to being in grade school or high school, right? Once you get into the workplace, there is an expectation that you stop asking for permission and you do what needs to be done. There is even a saying that says “ask for forgiveness, instead of permission.” This means that you should take risks and try things without asking someone and having them…

Client Question: “I received some feedback that I should consider taking a different role. How do I decide what to do? First of all feedback is a gift.

From a leadership perspective, it would be comparable to Servant Leadership where you are putting the needs of others first and helping the people…
