Impressions


Impressions can lead an individual to jump to conclusions. They can cause the wrong message to be conveyed which consequently leads to chaos and confusion. They can also lead to mistrust in the marketplace. The best way to end the confusion caused by impressions is for partners to be truthful to one another in a company and not keep any “secrets” from each other. Playing the “I have a secret game” will cause rifts and cliques in a company instead of a united front towards a common targeted objective. Secrets that are kept within a company of owners are not conducive towards a healthy working environment and do not foster a sense of belonging and a team mentality. This type of practice causes divisiveness and is counterproductive to a businesses progress.
