A Real Morale Crusher

In celebration of Elephant Appreciation Day on September 22, our Leadership Quote of the Week is:

When there's an elephant in the room, introduce him.

Are there any elephants in your office?

Examples?  A system that isn’t working.    Deadlines that aren’t being met.  For more, see 10 Common Elephants.

Even a baby elephant takes up lots of room and resources. And has a way of weighing down, if not crushing morale, productivity and overall performance.

Are you going to let him (or her) crowd you and your team out of success?

Post this week’s quote as a reminder. Instructions below.

And then, if you have the courage, consider using this week’s quote to launch a discussion about elephants in the room. Because who knows, there may be some elephants you don’t know about.

And if you have any ideas on this, I’d love to hear them.
