Forgiveness is one of those attributes that's easier to talk about than to practice, especially at work. Why is forgiveness so important in the workplace? Max Lucado once said, "Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner." So let's consider what happens when you don't forgive.
When someone offends you and you hold on to that grudge - you become angry, oftentimes consumed with it, you seek revenge and you may begin to resort to dirty tactics which can undermine you and sabotage your career. Simply put, you put yourself at risk. Risk of saying or doing something that can derail your career.
Remember, no one is perfect. There will be people that offend you intentionally and, in some cases, unintentionally. Life is too short to hold grudges and seethe over a perceived slight. Make the determination today that you will take the first step and forgive.
