Thoughts on Managing People
Here's an excerpt from Carol Ritberger's book titled Managing People...What's Personality Got To Do With It?  This will get you thinking about how you interact with your coworkers - especially if you're a person who's in a position of influence:

Going to work can be hazardous to your health, especially if you’re with a company that places more value on the bottom line than it does on its staff. If we’re to change the perception of business, then those in positions of power must become attuned to people’s needs, take time to cultivate their individuality, and figure out what motivates them. Understanding personality is the first step, because it’s where you’ll truly gain insight into what makes everyone tick.

Sure, you may think that the "bottom line" pays your paycheck, but the people you work with decide whether or not it will be an easy journey to that money.  What's the point of making all that money if you're the manager who treats everyone like dirt and your coworkers don't support you?  Why work for a company who doesn't listen and will not even get to know you?
