Shared a fascinating video made by a Russian beekeeper which was posted on here recently with my local natural beekeeping group. Got an immediate response of:
Absolutely fascinating – and the beekeeper is from St Petersburg, so they’re not all like Putin.
Asked why was Putin mentioned and why was everything politicised? Ended by saying I was sick of wokist virtue signaling.
Expect to be ostracised or even excluded. Challenged one member over Climate Change a while back and he exploded in a rage and stormed off. Wondering if the rest of the group will go silent or respond. If they do, I will give them chapter and verse.
So wish this would all end.
I have a friend who is naturally adept at this, but it took her a long time to understand the power she had and to adjust it in her role as a manager. People don't like to look at the ugly side of themselves and when someone holds up the mirror, many run screaming. To be effective as a manager, it is a delicate balance because most people are insecure. They will say they welcome feedback, when what they really mean is 'praise me'. Everyone likes to be praised, but that is not how you grow..
