Sure, dealing with business spies is important. That's probably why you're here. But what about all the other business risks you face? Where can you go for help and advice?
One place you should visit each day is Rothstein Associates Inc. Business Survival™ Weblog.
Here is a tip I recently picked up while visiting...
Many of us have had to deal with mentally unstable people at different times and at different levels of the corporate world, including those at executive levels tasked with making significant decisions for their organizations.
Like pornography, a lack of mental stability in people, especially in the workplace, is something most of us recognize when we see it. The effects of mental illness often cause serious negative impacts on the departments and the people the sick individuals interact with. But, because mental illness is still a taboo subject in corporate America, these people remain in their high level posts “undiscovered” for years.
See Dealing with Mentally Unstable Managers, by Joel Font, CISA, CBCP.
Philip J. Rothstein's Business Survival™ Weblog is loaded with tips like this one. It even has a special feeds called Global Disaster Alert (that'll cheer you up in the morning) and Business Survival™ News.
