The Employee with a Chip on His Shoulder Harms the Whole CompanyEvery once in a while you come across an individual who has an entitlement attitude. They feel that they’re blessed with unusual ability that far exceeds the rest of God’s creatures and that the people they’re forced to deal with are just mere servants that should be catering to them. If this sounds familiar to you, you’re not alone.This week I was calling upon a new customer and he had been used to dealing with our president and so speaking with me seemed to be lower than low.

Unlike Pearl Harbor, American business was the primary target this time, not American military facilities.The choice of targets says a lot about the kind of war America is now involved in. This is a new kind of war, and the demands on American business will be significantly different than in World War II. Then, the nation's entire business community focused on one objective, winning the war by mass-producing the weapons of war. This time the volume of weapons produced won't be a
