Excess and Negatives

A strength taken to an extreme can become a weakness. The highly analytical person becomes indecisive. The hard worker takes on too much. The kind person becomes weak. The candid person becomes abrasive.

There is a related problem. An action taken to excess becomes a negative. The executive who, due to full confidence in an operation, stays away, may cause the team to feel neglected or even slighted. The supervisor who gives an employee a large amount of running room may be seen as indifferent or - if trust is not present - setting a trap. 

Check your excesses, even those which you feel are good. In most cases, balance is needed. So too is a certain amount of "poetry." If you are using cold logic in dealing with others, you are missing much of what drives the world.
