Its Not Brian Williams Fault Bosses Enabled Poor Behavior - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career It’s not Brian Williams Fault! The situation NBC News finds itself in with the Brian Williams truth stretching scandal isn’t the anchorman’s fault. It really isn’t. I’m not saying that Williams is not responsible for his behavior and shouldn’t take responsibility for his actions. I’m not saying he turn into the 70s comedian Flip Wilson character Geraldine, of “the devil made me do it” fame. There are reports released anonymously and with speculation that others in NBC News, e.g., Tom Brokaw, were aware of Williams tendency to stretch the truth. Those reports are saying they told him to “be careful” with where he was going in certain stories. If the reports that Brokaw and other senior people at NBC News were aware of his tendencies, they never made it clear to him that it needed to end. Williams’ behavior was enabled and permitted. To exacerbate the issue during a period NBC executives definitely knew of Williams’ embellishment tendencies, the network signed Williams in December of 2014 to a 5-year, $50 million contract extension. Williams’ lucrative new contract rewarded and reinforced his behavior, reinforcing the fault for Williams’ behavior belonging to network executives, not Williams. Williams learned what behavior was appropriate and would be permitted not by what people said to him but what they showed him by their actions. NBC’s predicament is not Brian Williams’ fault. Likewise, if a small business has employees whose behavior and performance is not up to the business owners’ standards, it’s not the employees’ faults either. It is the fault of the small business owner! Too many small business owners avoid dealing with employee attitude and behavior issues, wishing and hoping it will stop, while co-workers see it all right in front of them. In a short period of time, employees morale declines as they lose respect for their boss and the company for which they work, causing everyone in the work environment has to tolerate the impact.

What is a Millwright What Do They Do - Algrim.co A Millwright installs, repairs, dismantles and reassembles, and moves machinery in a factory, power plant, or construction site setting. They typically work as contractors rather than employees and can experience downtime between jobs as they have variable schedules and can spend as little as a few days or a couple of weeks on any given contract. What Does a Millwright Do? Beyond this, Millwrights have a range of duties that they are expected to perform at a job site, plant, or factory. Millwrights are the go-to person for large machinery needs and perform a variety of maintenance tasks that require a highly skilled worker. Millwrights must know how to read blueprints and extremely technical instructions regarding the machinery they’re repairing or assembling. Millwrights are also responsible for dismantling machinery in order to make room for new machinery that replaces the old machinery when it breaks down or for project changes that require a different type of machinery. When dismantling machinery, Millwrights have to prepare each part for transport to a new site or location, and this requires extensive labeling and safe packaging to prevent damage or lost parts. They’re also called when machinery develops a defective part or parts. They must dismantle the machinery enough to get to a malfunctioning part, replace it, then put the machinery back together. Millwrights perform the initial installation of large machinery and are responsible for repairing it as necessary. They also adjust parts as required to ensure optimal and safe functioning of the machinery. Installing or dismantling machinery of this kind can take days or even weeks and is incredibly complicated. Millwrights are responsible for understanding every single part of the machinery as well as how the parts work together to make up the hole. How To Become a Millwright The first step to becoming a Millwright is earning a two-year associate’s degree in Industrial Maintenance.

Once you’ve completed this apprenticeship, you are ready to look for work and are considered fully qualified as a Millwright. In order to become a successful Millwright, you must be physically able to handle the difficult manual labor and must be incredibly organized.
