Whoever said you have to be an A$$ to be a boss, should never get to be a boss. Especially in a democratic society. Being an A$$ boss in a democratic society only causes resentment and disloyalty.

Stop doing Stupid Things. – Strong by Kailin Gow.
If you have an employee with a great attitude but no training or skills versus one with a poor attitude with some education or training.

Women can be beautiful and smart. They just choose to play down their intelligence so they can survive and get along with others during the times in history when women didn’t have equal rights, couldn’t speak out, and were considered property. – Strong by Kailin Gow.
How many times have an author come to me to say that I had told them so? Many. Choose to listen to or not the advice gained from experience and wisdom at your own peril. You might save yourself a lot of time and grief. – Strong by Kailin Gow on Being Strong for the Long Tail.
