Ever felt like someone was a bit too close to your comfort zone? This is your territory and it plays a huge role in business. It can go both ways, either you're giving sufficient amount of space for the person to feel content or too little and they would like to step back a bit!
Territory can be ownership for a space, item or yourself and when someone violates that you would most likely take it the wrong way. In a business scenario, this can lead to arguments, decline of a job, or overall awkwardness between the team! Aside from actually coming up too close to the other person, taking possessions of the person can lead to uncomfortable behaviour. Don't you feel mad at times when someone takes something of your own and you just met this person?
So please be aware of these little things that can give off a bad impression.
