Tolerations : This, in my opinion, is a big one. All of us have things we tolerate. Over the years, in my life and the lives of others I have worked with I have seen the negative effect of tolerations. To tolerate means to allow the existence of something, to permit or endure something, to put up with something.

All the terms we have addressed and defined so far are important.
