Their perception trumps your behavior

A real estate management company hit a snag after hiring a woman to start a new consulting venture for them. She spent more than $12,000 for a leather couch, drapes and other office furnishings. She came to work in a limo and swept into her office without saying “Hello” to anyone.

After a year, she had yet to sign a single client, so the company fired her.

She abused power and got what she deserved, right?

The lesson: Strive to see your actions through the eyes of the other people in your organization.
