The Power of Words

Words possess immense power to harm both others and ourselves, often leading to deep emotional wounds that take much longer to heal than physical injuries. This is illustrated through the example of infamous CEO Tiger Mike, whose aggressive and belittling communication style exemplified how words can dehumanize and devastate individuals, creating lasting negativity. His harsh memos and demeaning remarks instilled a culture of fear and worthlessness among employees, showcasing the destructive capacity of an untamed tongue. The impact of such speech extends beyond the workplace, affecting personal relationships and self-worth, proving that the wounds inflicted by words can leave lasting scars on the soul.
