scenario 1:
Management is a fun topic and a never-ending pursuit of excellence. On the upper end of the organization, you have power and authority governed by policies; the bottom is defined by tasks, procedures, and following directions.
Our whole careers of working with people, in-service, and enabling opportunity, and rewards is a never-ending process that continuously reveals itself and educates us.
There is quite a bit to be said for people and their egos, and personalities. Are these personalities capable of being changed, or it one hard-wired at birth? Perhaps our journeys are one of the discoveries of who we are and where we perform best. Takes one a while to discover oneself. The whole process is one of discovery, endlessly fascinating and rewarding (wish I knew then?)
