• All organizations have an influx and outflow of people that works similar to that of a revolving door.
• People come in through that door because they have a reason they want to be part of that company.
• But when they exit the company through that door, chances are they all have something in common. Their desire for “greener pastures” is often motivated by the need to get away from someone.
• Some people cannot get along with anyone. Wherever they go, trouble goes with them.
• “Some cause happiness wherever they go. Some cause happiness whenever they go.” Oscar Wilde
