Avoiding Scandal in the Workplace

The Internet has given us unprecedented access to content that has made even the most innocuous among us potential targets for scandal. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in the workplace, where the slightest misstep or lapse in judgement can become a viral video or story faster than the one-cup coffeemaker can brew your morning cup.
Recently, we’ve been sharing such stories that have included New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s traffic scandal, allegations of abuse of power by a Texas grand jury against Governor Rick Perry, and Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice being dismissed from his contract for abusing his girlfriend in the elevator of a casino. These have been some of the most public workplace scandals to date, but there are countless others that occur, often because there is a lack of skill on the part of management in dealing with situations when they go awry.

There are many reasons why leaders in the workplace make bad decisions, but there is also much that can be done to educate those in power so they can have a positive influence on those they manage. Choosing the proper employees, keeping the lines of communication open, and avoiding hidden agendas are a few ways leaders can avoid scandal, and keep their charges from creating difficult situations that can potentially become social media fodder.

Coggno can help anyone in a management role improve decision-making skills with online training resources that will help avoid the common traps that trip up so many in the corporate world. If you’ve never considered online training, there is no better time than the present to give it a try. It beats becoming a viral Facebook story or a hashtag on Twitter.
