When someone puts up an offensive picture as their avatar, what will you do? How will you handle that?
Because it will happen – or something like it. Someone, at some point, will put something out there that most people with common sense would never do. And when it does happen, remember these things:
- It RARELY happens. So don’t let people take this opportunity as an “I told you so” because you can take the 10K other times as an “I told you so” back.
- This may be a temporary lapse in judgment or it may be insight into something larger. Your job is to find out which.
- Letting the top level of the organization know that you have a plan when that happens will help them feel more secure and confident in you and your plan.
So plan for it, just don’t plan on it.
