Leadership Responsibilities Concerning Drugs and Alcohol
There are issues concerning drugs and alcohol so frequently that it is in the best interest of any organization to provide frequent training to everyone in a leadership position on how to recognize abuse.
Leaders have to be trained to recognize drug and alcohol abuse to protect the organization, team morale and welfare of everyone to include customers. It’s not as easy as smelling alcohol or observing someone acting abnormal, there are definite symptoms but they can only be recognized through proper training.
I am not going to pretend to be an expert in this subject but I assure you that the training I received saved me a lot of time and effort putting up with lies and BS. The abusers are excellent liars and have mastered how to fool anyone that doesn’t understand their symptoms.
I had an individual I was mentoring that was respected by everyone, I was shocked along with everyone else when it was discovered this individual was a drug dealer. This person’s knowledge, professionalism and leadership skills were superior to anyone with their experience level. I refused to believe it at first but was shown a video of a drug sale.
I used this experience to train my leadership team that drugs and alcohol are so powerful that it can control people of exceptional abilities and talent. Unfortunately these diseases can take control of people of all levels to include the highest level of leadership.
If through training you can detect them early enough there are programs that can help your team members and allow them to have a productive and successful career. It requires a great amount of understanding and empathy to help them.
I have had thousands that received help and were successful and hundred that went to treatment and never bought into the program and we had to release them. It is a leader’s responsibility with proper training to recognize these diseases and to take appropriate action.

However, I must admin I did drive by Warren Buffet’s office and house a few time. When I say I am a stalker I am more of an admirer. I am someone that loves getting inside the mind of a great CEO (or CEO type person). I read as much as I can about them, I watch all the interviews, I track the performance of their companies and more. Some CEO’s are very hard to follow and some are very easy to follow.
