One Comment

... can make a day or break it. It can foster relationships and just as quickly destroy them. One comment can be more memorable than years of good or bad deeds.

A casually made remark may possess far more power than a carefully prepared speech because of the suspicion that it reveals what the other conceals.

Those who do not have a well-operating filter need to find one. You do not want to be cruel, rude or insulting by accident.

    Anonymous,

    That's good news.

    As for thriving, I will make a shameless plug for my book: "All I Said Was: What Every Supervisor, Employee, and Team Should Know to Avoid Insults, Lawsuits, and the Six O'Clock News." There's an ad for it on the sidebar.
