The Four Most Difficult People You'll Ever Manage


4 Quadrants

1.  Relators - Hate confrontation/conflict.  Relate to people organically. 

2.  Socializers - Make everything fun.  Downside, they sometimes have too much fun and aren't taken seriously.

3.  Thinkers - High thresholds for analytical processing.  They take sometimes too long to make decisions.

4.  Directors - Desire efficiency and productivity from team.  Sometimes they get these things through a lack of effort and respect toward team.

Emails: Work and Play Don't Mix

Work emails aren't for one's pleasure.  Assigned to an employee, the work email is for work purposes.  Yet, how many workers use their professional email for personal business?  Does one know that on any given day he or she just might be fired for inappropriate use of one's email?  What's worse, the wrong words, sense of humor, comment, and more in an email just might aid in one's lay off or firing.

This simple reminder is for those who have blurred the lines between company business and personal pleasure when it comes to workplace emails.  Avoid becoming so comfortable with company email systems that you no longer care who sees an email you have written or received.
