I like to think of myself as, well, nice. But two years ago the fallout from a battle I had with a board director almost killed my company, and the experience transformed how I perceive myself in relation to others. I concluded that the need to be nice had limited my progress in business. Back in school, I was the good girl who enjoyed her role as teacher’s favorite. When I started my first business in 2001, I acted in much the same way: Little Miss Perfect who worked hard to ensure that clients, colleagues and partners all liked her. I thrived on positive feedback and placed everyone’s interests ahead of my own.
