Words Can Heal

Although few of us define ourselves as "bosses," most of us at least sometimes are in the position of telling other people what to do. We may be supervisors in the workplace, employers of domestic help, teachers, parents, or experienced workers showing the ropes to new employees. When we think of the power "the boss" wields, we may not realize that the boss's greatest power is the way he or she uses words. By one's choice of words, a "boss" can build up or tear down another human being.

Words that heal are good for the boss, for the employee, and for the morale of the whole workplace. So isn't it worth paying as careful attention to the way we speak as to the way we dress?
