On the importance of doing unto others as THEY would want to be treated.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
This “golden rule” might sound like a great way to live…. but in terms of a personal leadership mantra, it turns out that it might lead you astray.
When our parents or grandparents reminded us to treat others the way we would want to be treated they were probably reminding us about things like not being mean, not speaking behind our friends’ backs, or holding the door for someone coming in behind us. But what this phrase overlooks is that in a lot of other nuanced ways, OTHERS don’t necessarily want to be treated how WE want to be treated.
======================
OTHERS don’t necessarily want to
be treated how WE want
to be treated.
