00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,760
I was reading your website and I seen,

2
00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:05,760
I think the question states, so don't quote me,

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,260
but have you ever had a bad boss?

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,920
Oh my goodness.

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,800
That nearly, I was like, hmm, yes, yes, reach to me.

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:16,720
Yeah, exactly.

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,100
So I had, early on in my career,

8
00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:21,280
I had a boss who had anger management issues

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,320
and at one point it was a construction crew.

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,760
We were going from job site to job site

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,440
and in a Ford F-250 pickup truck

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,520
and I was sitting in the passenger seat,

13
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,200
working on the paper for the job

14
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,800
as he's driving to the next job site, swearing his head off.

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,640
He grabbed the stapler out of my hand,

16
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,680
opened it up and proceeded to whack my leg

17
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,000
with an open stapler just because he was so angry

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,720
and driving staples into my leg.

19
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,240
And I'm like a 17 year old kid.

20
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,120
I don't really know what's right and wrong yet,

21
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,520
but I knew that was wrong.

22
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,440
And I think, you know, whether it's physical violence,

23
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,120
a stapler into your thigh or abusive language,

24
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,840
you know, it's just, leaders have a sacred responsibility,

25
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,520
whether they're spiritual or not,

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,640
to lead their people well.

27
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,760
And you know this, Javanka,

28
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,600
because of your positions as well.

29
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,440
Those of us that are in positions of leadership,

30
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,320
we're at the bottom of the pyramid.

31
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:27,320
We're not at the top of the pyramid.
