Eight phrases that destroy your leadership credibility

September 23, 2015

Mike Williamsen Ph.D., CSP
September 30, 2014

From time to time when I am introduced in public, I get questioned about the three initials that follow my name—PhD. People in my community seldom know I have such a degree. The few that do know sometimes give me their humorous definitions of what the three letters mean to them: Piled Higher and Deeper, Push Harder Dummy, Post Hole Digger and the like. You may very well have some others to add to this humorous list.

“My manager doesn’t understand me” – could be the safety profession’s oldest lament

January 17, 2014
