Your disposition, mood and feelings impact everything from your ability to make effective decisions to
the level of your creativity and ability to work well with others. Inconsiderate behaviors such as
rudeness and gossiping also interrupt the smooth flow of the workplace. Your behavior even may
affect whether you keep your job. Transferring feelings to workplace behaviors affects your work
performance. - Linda Ray, Demand Media
