Thank you all so much for the incredible response to Episode 1. Your feedback, both on-line and off-line, has been heartening and incredibly instructive. Please keep it coming!

Today's episode takes aim at the Workplace Golden Rule - that leaders must treat all employees the same all the time and that we should strive for 100% consistency. Might this kind of management minimize litigation risks? Maybe. Will this approach ensure that we do not get the most out of our people? ABSOLUTELY!

Effective leaders know what motivates each of their people. Effective leaders embrace notions of equity in management. Effective leaders understand that treating everyone fairly does not require treating everyone the same.

And, of course, Go Birds!
