Do You Have to Choose Between Strength and Kindness While Running a Business?

Many business owners might feel like being strong and kind at the same time isn't possible.

But isn't it possible that what you want and what the employee wants are, at heart, the same thing? In that case, it ought to be possible to be both strong and kind at the same time.
Face Your Fears by Developing Emotional Intelligence and Motivating Yourself

When you start a business, your main fear is that it's not going to take off. In fact, there are businessmen who have tried up to ten times before establishing a business that does well. Although owning your own business is the best way to increase your income, it's also a very difficult process.
