Some judicial judges have reputations for handing out harsh sentences. For example, a “hanging judge’s” attitude to sentencing is one of deterrence and incapacitation. There is no interest in rehabilitating criminals.
If you are a judge that is interested in rehabilitating criminals. A judgment handed out by a “hanging judge” goes against the grain.
Few of us, actively manage our attitude towards the roles we occupy. Often we fall in, muck in and try to make it work. And if that is true then it is harder still to imagine that we are capable of creating a culture that fits our attitude.
A coach who thinks coaching is leadership will function best in a role that offers authority and legitimacy.
A teacher who thinks teaching is about inspiring and engaging their pupils will thrive in an environment in which “A” grades are not the only outcome to shout about.
Your attitude might well stink. But it is much more likely that you have paid no attention to what you think you actually do.
