In my last column (June 19), I made the case that personal problems may well be manifesting themselves in your business disguised as business issues - yours and theirs. These personal/business issues infect your business from within and without, impacting everyone from your highly valued employees to your most precious clients.
Have you noticed that some of your so-called "best" employees are often the very ones that create the most upheaval with co-workers and with clients? And, oh my goodness, sometimes it's you! (I quit being surprised a long time ago when owners or managers confessed to me they recognized that they were the difficult person in the company.)
