As an entrepreneur, you should treat gossip among the members of your team as a reduction in productivity at best, and at worst, an indication of unhappy, un-empowered, or non-collaborative employees. As a leader, you should be asking yourself if you are the problem, and working hard to improve the situation before it gets out of hand, causing lost clients as well as lost productivity.

I think that the most powerful point this article made is that when there is detrimental gossip in the workplace thinking about it from the top down, and how to change the environment to make sure that employees don't feel the need to spread negative rumors.
