Once again, Halloween approaches and we see more ghouls, zombies, monsters, and the like emerging from the shadows into the cultural spotlight. Rather than a laundry list of the frights that await businesspeople this autumn, I am focusing on a few of the most common. This year, rather than dwell on the demons and monsters, I am including an executive coach’s version of sunlight, wooden stakes, and the other talismans useful to exorcise the Halloween crowd from your place of business.
