Get with it! What you say matters. People remember!

I recently conducted an investigation for a client who had received information that a senior executive was not providing the level of leadership that warranted her position. As I interviewed people that worked with this person directly, there was a common theme that came through loud and clear. This executive made harsh and sometimes inappropriate workplace comments that massively impacted her people. Many of her comments were subtle. Others were more clearly inappropriate. But, every team member remembered them – up to 4 years later!
