As owner or CEO, yes, there are some challenges and threats for which you are best served withholding the gruesome details from your entire staff. But not as many as you may think. Lean on your executive team, or if that isn’t feasible, then on your outside advisors. You don’t have to face every struggle alone.

Description: Whether your business needs have changed or you just want to live in a different part of town, terminating a commercial lease or a residential rental agreement is not as simple as packing up and stopping payments. Some contracts contain provisions that allow for early termination following payment of a fee, and some may allow you to find a subtenant, but in general there is no sneaky, quick, cheap, or easy fix for this situation. Even situations where the property manager or landlord is failing to fulfill its duties can be complicated if you want to assert termination for cause. It is critical to find a local lawyer who can help you negotiate a mutually acceptable outcome with your landlord and take advantage of any tenant-favorable nuances in applicable state law and/or built into your specific lease's terms. Regardless of the approach you take, however, remember that trashing or damaging the property out of anger will only escalate the dispute, and the landlord or property owner is likely to hold you liable.

Are you not expanding into an adjacent market? Are you still not introducing a product line you considered three years prior? Maybe there are good reasons why, but be as intentional about what you aren’t doing as what you are.
