Realize that business decisions are often made without regard to whether you are liked or not. Just because your idea was not chosen, it does not mean your boss has a personal grudge on you.


Don't let hurt feelings take control of you. You will run the risk of damaging business relationships with unfound personal grudges.


When things at work don't go your way, don't think it has to do with you. Think of tough decision you have had to make that had noting to do with the individuals they affected.
