My name is Jason Swaim and I am a reader of your magazine. I read an article you wrote entitled "Leadership- The rest of the story.” The company I work for sent the whole company leadership, including myself, to "Dave Ramsey's Entre-Leadership program." They flew out his speaker Chris LeCurto. The core of the program is to not separate yourself from your workforce, and to not lead with threats and fear.
The company went 180 degrees the other direction. It came out with new (different colored shirts) for Foreman and Project Managers, it made entry into the office require a scanning badge to enter (there went the open-door policy), it took away the field workers’ coffee pot from the break room as punishment for asking for coffee.
