Seven Points That Offend Leadership

Confronting leaders face-to-face
(words, expressions, actions, response speed all count)
Talking behind leaders' backs
(what you say is essentially heard by the leader and is already exaggerated)
Stealing the spotlight from leaders
Bypassing hierarchy to report
(personal relationships outside the chain of command, even if discovered, still counts)
Affecting leaders' legitimate work interests
(department achievements, performance, evaluations, deductions)
Affecting leaders' improper interests
(leaders' gray income / laziness)
Affecting leaders' plans
(taking the positions leaders want to assign, naturally opposing or crossing their authority/roles)
