Or they do, but do a lousy job and create a whole new set of problems. Accountability suffers and new problems spring up. New research demonstrates that these disappointments aren't just irritating, they're costly-sapping organizational performance by twenty to fifty percent and accounting for up to ninety percent of divorces. observations to increase confidence in facing issues like: an employee speaks to you in an insulting tone that crosses the line between sarcasm and insubordination. Now what? Your boss just committed you to a deadline you know you can't meet-and not-so-subtly hinted he doesn't want to hear complaints about it.

An accountant wonders how to step up to a client who is violating the law. Can you spell unemployment? Family members fret over how to tell granddad that he should no longer drive his car.
