By Queen Joseph
Excerpt: When an employee or contractor comes to you with an issue they’ve experienced, the worst thing you could do is say what someone else did or didn’t mean. You immediately denounce that person’s feelings and experience. Unless you have a crystal ball and can read minds accurately, you do not know the intentions or motives behind someone else’s behavior.
