- 0:00Speaker 1: It's not just a podcast. It's a podcast network. That
- 0:02Speaker 1: was my vision in 2010, to create a network where
- 0:05Speaker 1: you had the power of choice and owned it like
- 0:08Speaker 1: you live it every day. Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. One of the
- 0:13Speaker 1: top shows, Street Speak with Alexa and Clarence. It really
- 0:17Speaker 1: is Alexa from Amazon. You're having the conversations, but do
- 0:21Speaker 1: they go as deep as these two? Only on Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Hey, it's me, that question guy. You know,
- 0:31Speaker 1: the dude that's always asking questions because it's so much
- 0:34Speaker 1: fun to do the research for answers. What are the
- 0:37Speaker 1: consequences of being the boss's best brown noser? Plus, when
- 0:44Speaker 1: trust becomes a serious issue at work. My name is Arrow.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on
- 0:51Speaker 1: the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
- 0:54Speaker 1: I call it the daily mess. It is a chronological
- 0:57Speaker 1: walkthrough in everyday world. It is my daily writing. When
- 1:00Speaker 1: a subject arrives inside of me, dude, it's time to
- 1:02Speaker 1: dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
- 1:06Speaker 1: doing the research, the picture is going to become clearer.
- 1:09Speaker 1: This is the daily mess. What are the consequences of
- 1:13Speaker 1: being the boss's best brown noser? You know what it is,
- 1:19Speaker 1: the brown noser. You know, the one or two or
- 1:21Speaker 1: three who do all they can to agree with the boss.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Good thing or bad thing? Well, just know the benefits
- 1:29Speaker 1: of being a brown noser is short-lived. But mental health
- 1:33Speaker 1: professionals say being a brown noser carries significant long-term consequences. What? How? Why?
- 1:40Speaker 1: Sit down. We got to talk here. Brown nosers lose
- 1:43Speaker 1: the trust of their coworkers. And then you become isolated
- 1:46Speaker 1: and oh, oh, the reputation takes on an added weight.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Then it happens. You get blamed for everything going wrong.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Your reaction is going to be resentment. And then you
- 1:56Speaker 1: become dependent on everybody else's approval. Well, let's give you
- 1:59Speaker 1: a break here, right? And let me give you an example.
- 2:01Speaker 1: A healthy employee would say, I understand what you're trying
- 2:05Speaker 1: to accomplish here. Let's work on this together. Now, here's
- 2:07Speaker 1: what the brown noser does. Oh, that's so incredible. Oh,
- 2:13Speaker 1: this is so perfect. They're actually saying, oh my God,
- 2:17Speaker 1: this sucks so bad. So how can we learn from this? Well,
- 2:22Speaker 1: the strongest position to take at work is to be loyal,
- 2:25Speaker 1: but not blind. It's okay to support your managers. Just
- 2:29Speaker 1: don't sell out your identity and credibility. This very little
- 2:33Speaker 1: disagreement can actually make your agreements with other people more valuable.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Just don't brown nose the top dog. It's visible. We
- 2:42Speaker 1: see it. Why don't you? Coming up next, when trusted
- 2:47Speaker 1: work becomes the issue. Hey, thanks for coming back to
- 2:52Speaker 1: The Daily Mess. When trusted work becomes the issue, is
- 2:56Speaker 1: there ever really a solution? Yeah, it can happen, but
- 3:00Speaker 1: only if the people involved are willing and fully able
- 3:03Speaker 1: to rebuild it. We've got to break this down. Workplace
- 3:06Speaker 1: trust has three parts. Reliability, I can trust and I
- 3:10Speaker 1: can count on your approach. Number two, integrity. Ooh. That
- 3:15Speaker 1: right there, that's truth over all things. Number three, consistency.
- 3:20Speaker 1: When people, that would be you, when people expect a
- 3:24Speaker 1: lot from you and you show up, the outcomes are
- 3:27Speaker 1: very interesting. Trust can be rebuilt, becoming more functional and
- 3:32Speaker 1: relationships are made to be repaired. Now, When we don't
- 3:37Speaker 1: get there, what happens? Well, you've seen it. Distance, boundaries,
- 3:40Speaker 1: a transfer, or total departure from the job. When trusted
- 3:44Speaker 1: work becomes the issue... It's really worth looking into. I mean,
- 3:49Speaker 1: we're talking about ending the silence associated with other people
- 3:52Speaker 1: through manipulation, retaliation, and taking credit for everything. Basically, you're
- 3:56Speaker 1: undermining other people. Wow. This is getting pretty heavy to hold.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Here's what we got to do. We got to stop
- 4:03Speaker 1: trying to convince people how trustworthy you are. Can I
- 4:06Speaker 1: say that again? Stop it. Stop trying to convince people
- 4:10Speaker 1: how trustworthy you are. The real mission is to give
- 4:13Speaker 1: them a consistent pattern of great behavior. please do all
- 4:18Speaker 1: you can to stay away from the freaking gossip. That
- 4:22Speaker 1: right there. And here are the exact words that I wrote.
- 4:25Speaker 1: When you can't break free of the gossip, that is
- 4:28Speaker 1: going to kill trust at the drop of a hate.
- 4:33Speaker 1: I could have put hat, but instead I said it
- 4:35Speaker 1: will kill trust at the drop of a hate. And
- 4:41Speaker 1: if things implode again, always remember your best reaction is
- 4:46Speaker 1: is having no reaction. I'm Errol, and that's The Daily Mess.
