The Rutledge Perspective Podcast

Welcome to The Rutledge Perspective Podcast where we help you get out of your rut or talk you back off the ledge. Surviving corporate America, or any career choice for that matter, is not easy; but it is doable with the right tools and insights. Using my expertise in human resources and consulting, I have curated content to address challenges that arise in the career and leadership space. We will discuss topics like knowing who is really in your corner, having the courage to speak out when something just isn’t right, investing in your own development with or without corporate sponsorship, choosing your words carefully and many other topics. I will also interview some interesting regular people who have made it through successfully. Life is way too amazing to be stuck in confusion and misery! Subscribe to the podcast, give us a rating, send me some comments (I really do use them for the development and improvement of content). Thank you for listening!

The Long-Term Consequences of Hidden Agendas Within Organizations

May 17, 2023

There are consequences for any agenda, no matter if that agenda is hidden or blatant. There will be consequences no matter what choice we make, and we are not free from the consequences of those choices. However, we can reap the benefits of making good choices, leading people well, and building up the leaders of tomorrow.

This episode is about helping leaders make better decisions and expose those hidden agendas rooted in pride that are happening today and that are going to be the downfall of organizations that exist a generation from now. The goal is to be innovative, but your individual hidden agendas could potentially be preventing your organization from moving forward. Listen now to learn about hidden agendas and their long-term consequences.

πŸ”‘ If you’re not careful, the long-term consequence of your hidden agendas is to teach your organization that how you treat people does not matter.

πŸ”‘ Hidden agendas are often individual and not collective.

πŸ”‘ It’s always a good time to do the right thing and it’s always a good time to speak truth to power.

Think through your agenda. Is it a real agenda or a hidden agenda? Is it about the greater good of the organization or is it about you? Think about how you lead, where you want to move your organization forward, and the people looking to you for you to lead them. What’s your agenda and what are the long-term consequences of your behavior today?
