paternalistic Explanation: Not a typo, Stuart. Just Mexican :)) I guess what they mean is managers should not give special treatment to their direct reports or something like that. I cannot think of the appropriate word in English, but the meaning, in the context of a company, is very much like that of "paternalistic" as applied to governments: A policy or practice of treating or governing people in a fatherly manner, especially by providing for their needs without giving them rights or responsibilities. Hope this helps you get on the right track! |

peer agreement (net): +4play favourites Explanation: From the following sentence, this seems to be what it means here; however, from the definition of "apapacho", an "apapachador" would be someone who coddles employees (in this case some more than others). "Apapacho" literally means to cuddle, to caress, to treat gently. |
