“Employees come to us in a state of readiness to engage, and it is the behavior and decisions of managers and organizational leaders that can result in even the best employees becoming disengaged over time.”

“The most common reason that employees fail to meet performance expectations is that those expectations were never made clear in the first place.”
Paul L. Marciano, Carrots and Sticks Don't Work: Build a Culture of Employee Engagement with the Principles of RESPECT

“In the past a leader was a boss. Today’s leaders must be partners with their people.” —Ken Blanchard”

Paul F. Knitter
“My own simplistic definition would be: dualism results when we make necessary distinctions, and then take those distinctions too seriously. We turn those distinctions into dividing lines rather than connecting lines; we use them as no-trespassing signs. We not only distinguish, we separate. And the separation usually leads to ranking: one side is superior to and dominant over the other. Thus, we have the dualism of matter and spirit, East and West, nature and history, male and female, God and the world.”
Paul F. Knitter, Without Buddha I Could Not be a Christian
