Does you boss love your team spirit? Count on you to keep things running smoothly? Never make waves?

In this week’s podcast conversation, Claudia and I discuss The Rule Keeper. This cooperative, team player is a great asset in any company. Leaders have enough to do without arguing the merits of every decision with every team member; or coming in to find that their instructions were ignored and each person proceeded along their own courses of action.

The question we want you Rule Keepers to ask yourselves is, “Might I be withholding valuable insight, knowledge or experience in the name of playing by the rules? Might I be holding back?”

Could the cooperative spirit you’ve been so proud of be working against you and the team’s best interests?

Listen in.
