Some people never leave High School. The emotive drama, the eternal complaining, feeling threatened by others in their small world who dare to do something, the generating of noise without any tiny inclination toward solving it. Moan moan moan. He said, she said. Have you heard about…? Several faces, each one dusted off and brought out in front of different people when needed. Sprinkles of white lies for added effect.
In previous notes I have asked you to avoid these people. Run away. Never intentionally become caught up in their attention. What happens if they are already in your face? What should you do?
Surprisingly; it is still illegal to shoot these kind of people (well, all people really). That rules out the most obvious course of action. That said, if you are able to fire someone like this – do it. They will continue to be a disease in your teams forever if they stay.

Give them something to care about. A mission or task that they can turn their negative, destructive gossip tendencies into positive bragging and optimistic conversation.
Do not feed their fires to be even more destructive with their words. Hand them a reason to act in the way they do best to build momentum around your vision.
