Today is the start of Bob Filner’s rehab or “intensive therapy”. You may recall that he is the mayor of San Diego. Now a tenth woman has come forward to accuse him of sexual harassment. I am certain that since he has not resigned, there are others on his staff who are afraid to come forward. Meanwhile, the search continues for one woman on his staff that will admit that Filner did NOT
sexually harass her (http://clicktotweet.com/Fa805).
Let’s hope that Filner’s rehab works better than Anthony Weiner’s rehab. I don’t think it is the same clinic (http://clicktotweet.com/8M0f8). As I keep saying, there is no rehab for stupidity. In New York City, the search continues for one female voter to admit publically that she will vote for Weiner (http://clicktotweet.com/Wn9er).
I wrote about sexual harassment in the workplace in my e-book, Leadership for New Managers: Book Two. It is available at http://smashwords.com/b/300090. here is what I wrote:
“It may take the form of sexual harassment, groping, verbal remarks, jokes, calendars or photographs, and even intercourse. The current state of TV and cinema seems to indicate that sexual misconduct in the workplace is acceptable, but it is not. In fact, it has ruined many careers and families and resulted in
many lawsuits.
“Leader/managers need to be observant to prevent sexual misconduct and harassment. They should
start by walking through the workplace. Look at the calendars, magazines, and pictures around desks and offices. Pornography and sexually explicit material may be there. Computers make pornography more accessible. Organizations should block pornographic web sites at work. Leader/managers should not let associates draw them into endless debates on art verses porn, or what is acceptable. The workplace is not the appropriate place for unprofessional displays of a sexual nature. If it is unrelated to work, then remove it. Of course, there are industries where it may be acceptable. Leader/managers must know their organization’s policy.
“The sexual misconduct of leader/managers is far more serious. Leaders should set the example with their professional conduct. To have an affair or to create a sex scandal is wrong on several levels. It violates the trust between a significant other and may involve deception and denial. The sound judgment of leaders involved in an affair is questionable. Affairs never end well. People always get hurt.”
