Most successful trade persons know that patience to a sound mind do not go hand in hand and trials that come along with doing business can make a grown man cry. However, when your patience is tried by an employee, or subordinate, is when you truly must use your skills as a manager or leader to calm the situation and appear to be the bigger one. Workplace violence has been present and will continue to persist since the inception of business, ranging from abusive verbal comments to physical altercations. Understanding who you are, where you have come from and what you are capable of should be instilled individually and preached at work places to reduce violent incidents. The bad news about this type of violence in today’s world is that it can affect business growth, have unexpected financial impact from lawsuits, business closures, property damage and a simple incidence can cause a bad case of reputation damage with affected future prospects.
