20120504 Today's Reflection

Being high-handed destroys all the good reputation and trust that were built over time.
Good reputation and trust take time to built, just like the emotional bank. However, 'rich' it is, it's very vulnerable and sensitive to any words or actions that works against it. In fact, the worst is when all the 'good work' carried out to build the ground work is no longer seen as sincerity, but as a tool for a bigger interest. Not only that, it makes one feel being taken advantaged of, or worse, being betrayed!

This does not just apply to peer-to-peer interaction.
The damage would be even greater when the boss demonstrated traits of being "high-handed", or is deemed to be high-handed; the implication is, your action and thoughts are not longer sincere. Sincere to the goals that were originally set out for both the boss and the subordinate.

This would be a gentle reminder to ourselves, no matter where we are, what role we undertake, sincerity is important. 以诚待人.
