I was having a conversation with a person today in regards to whether or not a person’s personality and actions within their personal life would automatically make them the same in a business situation. For example, if someone was constantly late in attending a family function in their personal life does that mean in business they would always be late as well?

Generally speaking, I definitely agree with the notion that what a person does in their personal life shouldn’t matter too much normally. In a business situation, from my experience it has been proven time and time again that how a person conducts themselves normally in their personal life usually carries over when doing business as well.

While you obviously shouldn’t pre-judge instantly, it sure can be a definitive sign and indicator.
