When the 2016 VHMA Management Exchange rolled out a collection of Scary but True Practice Stories, attendees had a chance to get the inside scoop on the perplexing--but not uncommon--workplace issues that managers address. Each month one video from the collection has been featured. In this issue Johana Beresky, MBA, CVPM, discusses When Personalities Clash.
