There are very good people with very bad ideas

Supreme Court Justice Scalia discussing his friendship with Justice Ginsberg

When you have an employee, you have the right to both monitor and enforce your position about that employee’s behavior.  If you don’t like the behavior, you can attack it and correct it and work on that behavior until you get it the way you want it to be, after all, you are paying for it.  If you can’t fix the behavior, I think the employee should be fired so they can go someplace where their behavior fits the job better than it did for you.  But I want to make sure that it is about the behavior. It is not about the employee.  If you don’t like the person, that is not part of the deal, you aren’t paying for their personality.  You are paying for that person’s results . . . period.  Manage and judge the worth of an employee based on their results - not their personality.

Larry Winget, the Pitbull of personal development is the best-selling author of Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get A Life and New York Times Bestseller It’s Called Work for a Reason! He teaches universal principles that will work for anyone, in any business, at any time, and does it by telling funny stories.

He believes that most of us have complicated life and business way too much, take them way too seriously, and need to lighten up, take responsibility, and keep it all in perspective.

I want the ability to rise above behavior and enjoy people while still being able to consider that their actions are stupid, detrimental, idiotic, rude and sometimes, even insane!!!
