Ed, the story around kindness and karma was so inspirational to me. I usually send out inspirational quotes every week to the leadership team I work with. This week I sent this story!!!!!!!!!!

I first heard the the old adage-What goes around-comes around” from my grandma (I loved her dearly)
she could only speak Hungarian and I was just a child but I remember the saying in the Hungarian language and I have tried to live by that thought, Good article Ed!!!!

Ed Gardner has done it again as he slams the door on misconception and uses humor, cites leaders, and with exquisite rationale shows the pragmatism of kindness! His work certainly is supported by many academicians and researchers in culture, neuropsychology and interpersonal relations-all fundamental to the collective bottom line!

Thanks Ed. Keep it coming

Comment on The Costs of Workplace Incivility by Dr. Robert Fettgather

Dr. Robert Fettgather — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 13:47:08 +0000

Ed Gardner hits on the paradox of business of our time and maybe of our time. Much like other revelations in the past:
like the routine beating of children with a rod does not improve their character. That introduced civility into childrearing at home to our collective benefit.

The workplace may be one of the last places where the pretense of civility overlays a more barbaric incivility overseen with a lot of cleverness. There is a wink to civility followed by a regression to profit by plunder with the illusion of success. Like the proud parent of the meek, compliant and beaten child of old.

Data has long proved the efficacy of civility in in families, and the family wars have thankfully muted but not gone away (as I discussed in “Love, War and the American Family”).

Now Ed and others lead us to another “staggering” truth, that swaggering and worse does not make money but is instead quite costly.

Hi Sally,
Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. Your comments are very gracious and considerate. Civility is a very timely subject right now. Civility is also a fairly simple concept. If you treat people with respect and decency, you will receive respect and decency in return. Thanks again for taking time to offer your thoughts on this latest issue of the What the HECK! Newsletter. All the best, Ed

Hi Ed,

What a wonderful set of articles on civility in the work place. So timely and on point. Thank you for making the time to write them.

The topic is universal and yet it goes unacknowledged. I value and appreciate you bringing the light to shine on civility.

Thanks, Chad. I appreciate your comments. Some people think that Dale Carnegie is “dated.” I believe there is great wisdom in his words. I had a chance to look at your website. Your coaching blog is well-done. Good luck with your upcoming wrestling season. All the best, Ed
