Stay Cool & Can't please everyone

Everybody gets angry sometimes, but it's important to control your feelings at work.
Getting angry may frighten people into giving you what you want in the short run, but it will take away their trust and respect in the long run.
Over time, frequent anger has nowhere to go, but to harden into bitterness at which point it not only takes others' trust and respect away, it takes and keeps them away as they try to avoid you.

The old saying, 'You can't please everyone', certanly rings true at the workplace. As many employees you have around you, that many reputations you're going to have, because everybody sees you in a different light. Don't take it personally.
