I've posted similar stories to this here (and on the 212-Careers topic). One reason is that I consulted for over 7 years with an organization that routinely did this with almost all new hires. 90% of the entry level new hires did not know what department they'd be working in until after orientation, etc. Almost weekly, reports of "employees" quitting "by noon" on their first day were very common! "It's the Manager!"

We all have a tremendous amount of power over our lives. That is true even for people who don’t believe it. People who do believe it, and use that power, are happier and often more successful. In fact, I’d say being happier is in itself a great success. One important area where that power exists…

Authentic Leaders know that they lead by example. Lesser leaders lead by example too, it’s just that they frequently don’t realize it. Both Authentic and lesser leaders know that effective communication is an essential tool of leadership.
