“many rules could be made for the giving of orders. Don't preach when you give orders. Don't discuss matters already settled unless you have fresh data.

“People who expect to feel guilty tend to be more sympathetic, to put themselves into other people's shoes, to think about the consequences of their behaviour before acting, and to treasure their morals. As a result they are less prone to lie, cheat or behave immorally when they conduct a business deal or spot an opportunity to make money, studies suggest. They are also likely to make better employees because people who think less about the future results of their actions are more likely to be late, to steal or to be rude to clients.” PeopleThinkingFeelsActionLyingOpportunityResultsDealsActingMoralStudyLateConsequenceShoesTreasureStealingGuiltySpotsMaking MoneyBehaveEmployeeClientsBehaviourCheatRudeSympatheticBusiness Deals Author:David D.
