SIX NIOSH reports today! Are you doing everything you can to keep your and your crew as safe as possible?
While Rommel was on the side of the Nazis, I think the following quote is good leadership advice!
“Be an example to your men, in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself and let your troops see that you don’t in your endurance of fatigue and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide.” – German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel
