		<description><![CDATA[I’ve yet to accomplish anything worth a damn when I didn’t have a fair number of critics lined up and all too happy to tell me why I was out of my mind. It’s a fair bet you’ve seen this before as well.  In my experience, the more audacious and creative the idea, program or strategy, the more vocal the critics become.  Here are five ideas to help you cope with the worst of your workplace critics.  <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/04/04/leadership-caffeine-coping-with-workplace-critics/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine: Coping with Workplace Critics ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every Friday, I share three thought-provoking management posts for the week. Fair warning: I take a broad view of management, so my selections will range from leadership to innovation to finance and personal development and beyond. This week's selections feature content on dealing with difficult people, learning and avoiding the pitfalls of inexperienced management teams, and recognizing the need as leaders to appeal to the hearts of the people on our teams.   <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/01/28/management-week-in-review-for-january-28-2011/' addthis:title='Management Week in Review for January 28, 2011 ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too many managers spend too much time walking on eggshells. They either avoid the Attitude Bullies or, they deal with them in a manner that reinforces aberrant behaviors. You’re much better suited to sweep the eggshells out of the way and engage to either build a better relationship or establish the basis for ending the relationship. <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/01/24/leadership-caffeine-if-youre-walking-on-eggshells-something-is-wrong/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine: If You&#8217;re Walking on Eggshells, Something is Wrong ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My biggest mistakes as a leader occurred as a result of spending way too much time attempting to change two people.  I was young, new to the formal leadership scene and convinced that with my help and guidance, these two talented individuals would certainly shed their dysfunctional and toxic behaviors.
