throw20180315··on Why do entrepreneurs engage in self-sabotage?
Thanks. Apologies if I broke the rules. I did not consider the comment empty, off-topic, flame etc, and tried to keep it non-personal but factual. I actually deleted a bit that was on re-reading possible to construe as an attack. Perhaps saying "Good times" at the end might have added too much personal edge?

Anyway, I've discovered that learning to gain self-awareness from listening to feedback and observing your effect on others seems to be a way to reduce the risk of being the cause of failure. Some people do this better than others and it's a valuable skill.

Agreed. Co-founder with majority shareholding is into 3rd year of divorce proceedings after starting an affair with a client. His personality and behavior has been cited as the reason for every single one of our employees that has left the company. Recently had a breakdown and might stand-down. Good times.
