Lately I have run into several managers and entrepreneurs of small and mid size entreprises who were cheating on their wife/husband. The common denominator amongst them: the company turnover was suffering and downtrending.
The phenomena of the cheating manager who then performs poorly, caught my attention so much that I even wrote a book on the subject a few years ago (The Ethics of Excellence).
If you want to manage a small and mid size company successfully, try to maintain a high degree of personal integrity and remember that, in the end, cheaters never win.
If you have junior managers in your company who are cheating on their partner, beware: they'll cause you a great deal of trouble.
This tip may seem unpopular but, believe me, it could save you a great deal of money.
