The other day, I witnessed a young man say something insulting and hurtful to the person he was speaking with. I’m almost 100 percent certain he didn’t mean for it to come across the way it did…mainly because his comment appeared to have come from a total lack of any forethought whatsoever. It was thought-less…
Would the principles that make one an effective, successful and happy individual create those same results for a company, and for society as a whole?
