Fear

Fear is everyone's worst enemy, whether they realize it, or not. Fear is only conquered by focused thought that is supported by the affirmation of past success that can be part of a person's confidence. Past success is only judged by a person's perception and a person's perception determines if they find positive qualities in negative events (attitude is 80% to 90% of success, depending on who you talk to).

Fear is the most effective tool available to manipulate people when you consider the cost. That is why there is motivation in business to provide an unstable environment that encourages fear. Encouragement of fear is not often intentional unless it is within higher levels of management. Usually apathy unintentionally encourages fear through lack of communication and indecision.

The management hierarchy in a business defines a general attitude from the top down that guides the workers to accomplish tasks. So, a business contains an attitude that influences workers and their ability to accomplish work.

The management hierarchy is a network of filters that allow a CEO to manage with a human consciousness that has limited perception and focus. Blame in a management hierarchy propagates down the hierarchy, but Reward propagates up the hierarchy. The personal relationships between the coworkers that brought the company together define its outcome.

A business is legally and realistically an individual entity with a lifespan and a health. The health of a business is slow moving for large companies where morale is not easily communicated or shared.
