Oh, you neither knew this was a verb. It’s interesting how particular words take on verb form when a subject is overly introverted and obsessed by an operating environment. Here we have outright bias exercised by the ex-chair of the Democratic National Committee and then residual bumbling discussion still ensues whether she should gavel or not gavel and speak or not speak at this week’s convention. In business and in life there are consequences to our behavior. Particular forums leave no room for second chances when the public’s trust is at stake. If you malign your behavior when bestowed a position of authority, it becomes apparent that your character is unfit for the office and hence you must seek work elsewhere. Somebody may give you a second chance and in fact the lesson could very well be learned and demonstrated in ones new role. A character can be rehabilitated. It really is this simple but when a process of rationalization muddies the scene and contextual actors acquiesce to excuses, pandering or self righteous demands of entitlement, then the ethics of a whole organization come under question.
