Hi Dave,

I love the fact that you just pulled the curtain open on the Wizard of Oz. There’s no hiding behind incessant criticizing and negativity. Being critical to seem smart and superior doesn’t build organizations or personal relationships. You make the case very well! And congrats on the comment from one of your seminar participants/job applicants!

Best,

David

When working with positive or upbeat colleagues life is just so much better. The flipside is true, with miserable nasty coworkers it’s just so hard to get things done and keep the momentum going.

So to answer your question: no. And I don’t think they’re smart. They’re just critical.
