Johnson on Insight
Lyndon Johnson had some advice for politicians that applies to just about everybody. Whether you’re an executive, an HR professional, a manager, a supervisor or anyone who has responsibility for dealing with people, meeting with people and trying to persuade them to do something or not to do something, the late President’s words seem to have meaning. If one can’t do what Johnson is talking about, maybe he or she isn’t meant to be a leader of people or even a manager of them. See what you think.
“If you’re in politics, and you can’t tell when you walk into a room who’s for you and who’s against you, then you’re in the wrong line of work.”
