Protect your team's mental energy from Negative People – It’s as Important as Any Business Decision Ever leave a conversation feeling worn out, like your energy’s been drained? Sometimes, it’s the people around us who cause it. They may be stuck in a cycle of negativity, stress, or criticism, or they’re simply focused on pulling others down. Being around them feels like running on empty. I have a simple rule in my life - both personal and professional - to avoid such people as much as I can. Here’s an easy way to spot them: after spending 15 - 20 minutes with them, you’ll feel unusually tired and unmotivated. But with the right people - those who bring positivity - you’ll feel motivated and energized. In my previous venture, we once had a client who was a major financial institution. Their project manager constantly harassed our team, crossing boundaries for the urgency of project delivery. I understand client timelines are important, and we respect our clients’ needs. But when this project manager started using abusive language with one of our female team members, I’d had enough. We reached out to their senior team, who assured us it wouldn’t happen again. But, as these situations often go, the pattern repeated itself. So we took a stand: if they weren’t willing to change the project manager, we wouldn’t work with them anymore. Despite the revenue we’d lose, protecting my team’s mental well-being was more important than any account. At my current venture GreyLabs AI, I applied the same principle when we received a lead from a large financial conglomerate. We’d worked with them in the past and knew they often mistreated their service providers and delayed payments. Rather than pursue a stressful partnership, I told my team to pass the lead to competitors who might be more suited for it. As a founder, I hold my team’s mental energy and well-being just as highly as my own. Negative clients, no matter their size, create a toxic environment. And if you let that kind of energy into your workspace, it impacts everyone’s motivation and productivity. In business, it’s natural to think that every lead or every client matters. But some clients come at too high a cost. When you prioritize a positive work culture, you’re not only protecting your team - you’re ensuring you have the energy and focus to build something great. Key Takeaway: Choose your clients as carefully as you choose your team. Protecting positive energy isn’t just good for morale; it’s essential for success. By focusing on clients who respect us and lift us up, we create a culture where everyone can thrive and bring their best to the table. PS: Want to join us? We are hiring for multiple roles.

This week, many families are preparing to celebrate Diwali (di-vah-li), a festival of lights observed mainly by people in the Hindu faith tradition. The holiday symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. The video below explains its significance. Interesting fact: Earlier this month, Pennsylvania passed a law with bipartisan support recognizing Diwali as a public holiday - the first state to do so. With North Carolina having more than 440,000 Asian American residents, and Indian Americans making up the largest ethnic group, will it be the next state to make Diwali a public holiday? https://lnkd.in/eQx-xBpX
