What’s
Behind the Label
We
often see the label and stop. We love
labels. And we love to slap labels on
things and people.
Especially
people.
And
that is tragic.
There
is always a person behind the label. A
person who has hopes and dreams, desires, and a measure of talent.
You’ve
brought that individual into your organization, and now what? Somebody gets a ‘feeling’ about them and
attempts to short-circuit their career.
Maybe shelve them before their ripening time has come.
All
because of a label. One thing I know –
in this disposable society in which we live, we cannot treat men and women as
disposable. We need individuals who have
a knack for drawing a person out, for finding the fire within and helping those
individuals we once labeled as ‘optional’.
There
is always a person behind any label.
What are we going to do about that?
This is what is on my mind
today.
