Recently in a conversation with a client who plans to retire in the next year, he was not sure who would take over his role. We talked about his role and his knowledge and his expertise, we talked about his team of managers. I mentioned that my idea of a leader is to share knowledge and train others to take charge, to make decisions, be available as an observer.
This past week I heard that term “ghosting” mentioned twice. Once by a Human Resource manager and a young lady who is organizing soccer teams. I was shocked to learn that this behaviour is becoming quite common that people make commitments to attend a meeting or an interview then never show up or return any messages.
