“Nice is only good when it’s coupled with a rational perspective and the ability to make difficult choices. It’s not helpful to foster an everyone-gets-a-trophy mentality; you have to earn the honors to get the honors.” --Michael Fertik
“How to Do Better Than Nice: Communicating directly and engaging in productive conflict, while difficult, simply makes for better performance–at both the individual level and the business one.”
"Nice people inadvertently create more unhappiness for themselves. Their need for affirmation fosters a negative reaction to their efforts to please." --Maria Sirota
