The pressures of business relationships: so I tell the guy I usually have my tea time at 10 o’clock every morning. He calls me at noon (very upset) because I didn’t meet him on the golf course. The trick is to let people know what you are expecting from them, never try to change their behavior. It is human nature to want our expectations to be met.
But, it is the nature of business to have these encounters occur, so it is important to be able to handle them. If you are not capable of handling these small confrontations with people, then you should seek a different industry where your expectations will be met with little effort required on your part.
