Susan Eichhorn Young: What Kind of Colleague are You?:
In our business, there are also those who are generous, kind, attentive, open, empathic, compassionate. This doesn’t mean you have no backbone to stand up for yourself in the face of the negative behavior. It means you truly are recognizing what you do and who you are has purpose and reason, and that each colleague around you has their purpose and reason.
Wise words from Susan. I have many colleagues with whom I’ve shared years of experiences, trust, and camaraderie. And all of those relationships must be earned.
