Authority and Salubrity (repost from August 21, 2015)

How do you separate leadership from friendship? How do you distinguish your friends from your leaders? Who are your friends? Some people can't distinguish their friends from everyone else in the pyramid. Some people forget their friends once they have a position that involves authority. A whole different side of them comes out once they have authority. What is authority? Remember that losing a position can be a down point but there will be other ones in life. But some friends, if you let them go you might let one part of you go_ a major part of you. Remember your friends and your positions. Many of them will not see it like that. Some "friends" need to understand that when you're running a business, it's not a family event. Yes, I have rules and yes, they should be applied to you, my friend. Because you're my friend and I'm familiar with you, does it mean that I have to favor all your friends as well? As my friend, shouldn't you be the main one to understand that my rules apply to my business and that certain things are far beyond intolerable. Tough love? Sure!
