Be Remarkable in 2007 - Dump the Soap Opera Secrets

Step up to the plate and be honest with your associates. “Don’t tell her, but.” Or “This is just between you, me and the doorpost.” undermines your team like nothing else you can think of.

Sure, there may be some trade secrets that you don’t just publish everywhere, but this is about dirty, soap opera politics that have people walking on eggs, full of distrust. No one works well when expecting to be shoved under the bus at any moment. If one has been shoved in my presence, my quality of work is going to suffer while waiting for it to happen to me.
If you work alone in your office, you will still have dealings with colleagues. Your reputation for sunshine will stand up well in your plans for a successful 2007 and on.
