One will have to be careful not to let others down and upset the team work.

A lot of time and effort is wasted every day when people fail to comprehend what is communicated to them. In every office a large number of letters, circulars, memos, noting’s and emails are circulated and exchanged. Yet human nature is such that many of these are not understood and workers fail to carry out the instructions ultimately productivity suffers. Finally one must ensure that the message has reached where it was sent.

One never knows when a customer may walk in.
