As leaders, we must protect and defend the integrity of our colleagues. Especially when they are being accused for actions without hard evidences and witnesses.
Having faith and belief in them must be projected via our words, tonality and body language when we respond to questions thrown by internal or external parties.
How would we feel when we are being accused in our absence, without opportunities to explain the real situations?
Let us be reminded of this fundamental leadership-management behavior and role.
Let us not slack and buck up.
Let us uphold the respect and role vested in us and do the right thing in the right way!
