Revenge can be a very misguided motivator in the business world. Healthy business competition is a good thing. This country was built on it. Revenge, however, is an unhealthy motive in business, and in our personal lives for that matter. Revenge distorts one’s vision and causes us to lose focus. It can lead to actions and decisions that are inconsistent with business goals and values. All business initiatives and decisions should be checked to confirm their alignment with the corporate mission. If they are found to be simply for the sake of revenge, they should be avoided lest they weaken the mission. Don’t let revenge drive your business decisions.
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
- Mohandas Gandhi
