I learned something new today, thank you for that. I think it was Wally Bock's RT that sent me here, so thank him for connecting us. Isn't Twitter an amazing tool. My passion and my business is Helping to Create Champion Leaders and Helping Champion Leaders Create Champion Organizations. I'm sure I will come across issues such as your specialty with the leaders and organzational teams I work with, so I defintely would love to keep in touch and have you as a resource, when those times arise.

This is a great discussion - in fact, you've inspired me to put a discussion on this on my facebook fan page where I have such discussions (and I'm trying to get my thousands of blog readers to go to :) LINK: http://www.snipurl.com/cicoachfbwelcome My brand is VERY narrowly focused and people are surprised that almost 45% of our population lives with at least 1 chronic condition (in this case the definition is fairly broad). This issue is WAY TOO prevalent for so many reasons I couldn't begin to list here. But many of my blog posts refer to it. Let's keep the conversation going. Skip – Delighted you found this.

I've found that most leaders try to avoid issues like this or deal with it in a very dis-empowering manner that causes tremendous anxiety, and resentment while creating low morale in a working environment. Other workers feel as though someone else is getting preferential treatment and isn't expected to keep up their performance. This is a great discussion started and something we should continue to develop. Your brand is very narrowly focused, which can be a good thing. How prevalent is this issue from your experience? Keep up the good work, Skip Rosalind,
