Bad Behavior Spreads
January 12, 2012
It is not work that kills, but worry.
-African Proverb
"Incivility prevents people from thriving," reports Gretchen Spreitzer in the January 2012 issue of Harvard Business Review.  She continues...

"Those who have been the targets of bad behavior are often, in turn, uncivil themselves:  They sabotage their peers.  They 'forget' to copy colleagues on memos.  They spread gossip to deflect attention.  Faced with incivility, employees are likely to narrow their focus to avoid risks — and lose opportunities to learn in the process."






Early childhood program administrators often have a global impression that things are going well or not so well at their center, but they lack specific feedback on just what the different areas of the organization contribute to those impressions. This updated and expanded edition helps directors define more precisely how ten dimensions of a center shape the quality of work life for staff. It will help you look at your program in terms of collegiality, opportunities for professional growth, supervisor support, clarity, reward system, decision-making, goal consensus, task orientation, physical setting, and innovation. Written in an engaging and lively style, the ideas in this book will help you sharpen your leadership skills and make your center A Great Place to Work.
