Living By The Facts

My father often speaks of a senior management supervisor whose plaque above his door stated "the only authority here is the facts". In almost every area of life, the facts are the bottom line to determining many things. When making major decisions, the facts are always important. Sometimes, the only way to determine which direction to take is too objectively look at the facts. In all cases and situations, the first, and most important thing to do is to find out the facts.

After finding out the facts, one must than apply or incorporate the facts to the situation or circumstances. You must know how to use the facts to bring out the truth of matter. Some might say, the facts will shine a bright light into thick clouds of darkness which often will reveal a worker of evil or more to the point, a lying wonder.

If you do not have the facts, in some cases, you will be in for a fight. There are some people that will distort the facts for the expressed purpose of exploitation. It is best not to make any statement until you have thoroughly looked at and examined the facts. In some cases, the supervisor is a walking target for some personnel; they live for the expressed purpose of the distorting the facts for their predetermined purposes. It is your responsibility to be committed to the facts only, not opinions.
