The Role of Revenge



"Revenge converts a little right into a great wrong."

German proverb


Just as it does in our personal lives, so too does revenge play a role in our business decisions, with the only question being, to what degree?

It shouldn't because in theory, all we decide to do and not do should be based on unemotional facts, but that's not the way things work all the time.

To what extent are you guided by a desire to get even?

  2. I admit I have sought revenge when I felt wronged, and while getting it, the long-term affect has sometimes not been good.

    My advice is to do your best to keep emotions in check, making sure as much as possible, that you do what you do because it is in your best interest, not to get back at someone.
