The Kofman Gap

Nice :

Conscious employees take responsibility for their life. They don't compromise human values for material success. They speak the truth and listen to others’ truth with honesty and respect. They look for Creative Solutions to disagreements and honor their commitments impeccably. They are in touch with their emotions and express them productively.

Unconscious employees do the opposite. They blame others for problems, seek immediate gratification regardless of ethics and claim to be always right. They hide significant information, sweep conflicts under the table and negotiate to beat their opponents. They expect to get what they need without asking, make irresponsible promises and don't honor their commitments. They repress their emotions or explode irrationally.

Conscious employees require conscious managers if they are to fully commit their energy to organizational goals. Unless they feel acknowledged, supported, and challenged by their managers, conscious employees will withdraw.

-- couldn't have put it better.

Not nice :

How to deal with unconscious employees? How do you push them out in a nice way?
