Toxic relationships in sales and business<\/p>\n

There are tough conversations to have in business and in life. There are people in every aspect of association that can cause you grief. \u00a0Some of these people are nightmares to deal with no matter what, they just want their way.<\/p>\n

Do you find it weird that you look at personal relationships one way and business another. Think about this for a moment would you allow difficult people in your personal life that you allow in your work life? For most people the answer is no!<\/p>\n

You may work with nice people or you may have to associate with psychopaths. You may even have to deal with manipulative people. If you keep your eye open you will find that manipulative people only have so many moves. You can start to predict what people will do over time with good certainty.<\/p>\n

Most people have the story they tell themselves and tell others about how they got into the position that they are in. Sometimes we like to tell the bad story for attention and sometimes it is for coping skills to deal with the problem.<\/p>\n

The problem with toxic relationships is typically they are looked at with scrutiny way too late. You tend to put up with more problems than you should for longer than reasonable. The real reason is the story you can tell yourself or tell others.<\/p>\n

Owners and management can be toxic<\/p>\n

Management can downplay problems or even ignore the actions. You may hear things like its not that bad. When it comes down to it denial is easier than action so the normal action is to pretend it isn\u2019t that big of a deal.<\/p>\n

When management allows bad environments it may be that they are protecting their back side. You may have problems even if you have been promised you will be taken care of.<\/p>\n

On occasion\u00a0 companies will do what they can to push you out. This may be real or you could be making it up in your head. You do have to look for good people to talk to so that you can confirm this.<\/p>\n

One go to move of manipulative people is to go after you but not others. It is a common move to \u00a0single you out buy building a team of people to harass you.<\/p>\n

Sometimes companies will old back pay to keep you. They keep pushing dates backwards to get you paid so you are entrapped into their organization. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

When you have solid skills a company can hold you back they may put chains on your skills to show you who is boss. \u00a0<\/p>\n
