Years Do Not Always Equal Knowledge

I have been in my Human Resource role for about a year now and it's been a very interesting one.  I have learned a lot about a lot of things.  It's funny...I have worked for Kroger for over 32 years, 31 spent in the stores.  You would think that I would know about a lot of stuff because of those 32 years but what I learned in this last year is you just don't know what you don't know.  The bad part is that others think because I have been around for 32 years I should know certain things.

Ha!

Fooled them again!

So it's been a good leadership lesson.  Just because someone has been around a while doesn't mean they will know what to do when they come into a new role inside the same company.

Sounds like a simple lesson...one everyone should know.

It's not...
