Here are some of the toxic people you should keep out of your life.
- Control freaks: They claim to know it all and therefore make poor listeners. While this type of personality can be difficult to manage in your personal life, they are complete nightmares in a professional setting. Remember the old adage, "There's no 'I' in team?" Well, in order for a business to thrive, everyone has to work together and a control freak will certainly want everyone to follow their way or else making a tense environment for all involved.
- Negative nancies: They are energy vampires and naysayers. While it is important to have honest feedback, it's also vital to have positive constructive criticism in order for your business to thrive.
- Liars: They cannot be trusted on any level. Trust is the foundation of every kind of relationship -- especially a business relationship. If you suspect there is a liar in your presence cut them out from your life.
