I agree with Amanda’s comments regarding her previous work environment.

I, too, many years ago worked for a man whom was a bit of a tyrant. He made many of the girls in the office cry on a regular basis. He would rant individually on each of them for hours on end. He’d close the door to their offices and go at them all morning.

He would also make his wife sit in his office for 45 minutes while he ignored her, waiting for him to allot grocery money to her.

It makes the atmosphere thick in the office and extremely tense. Nobody respected him nor did any of us trust him. Our work and the company suffered for it.

Wally was one of the most engaging guests you’ve had so far. It’s great to hear someone so excited about his work.

Lack of trust and respect was the main problem in my last job. Hands down I agree that positive interaction with your employees will get you better results. I used to work with 4 doctors. 2 of them would curse & yell when things didn’t go their way. It made everyone tense & on edge.
