How many times have you heard people say something like, "If you're nice, people will take advantage of you?"  Or, "If you're nice, people will think you're a pushover?"  Or, "Nice people finish last?"  People who say these things are totally out of touch with reality and haven't bothered to check the facts.  Study after study has shown that people who are nice make more money, are healthier, get bigger pay raises and promotions and are far more successful as managers than people who aren't.  What's there not to get?  If you want to be a successful manager, it's very important that you be nice. - Ross / RossReck.com
