Discussion»Questions»Relationships» Are you responsible to anyone for anything or only for/to yourself? That's the micro level. What about the macro level? Same thing?
After a particularly annoying session of sorting out all sorts of silly problems for my then company (a subsidiary of a half-billion dollar US organisation), I stormed into the admin area shouting "Do I have to do EVERYTHING around here?".
Carolyn, the Chief Executive's secretary, quietly piped up with "Yes you do Ray, otherwise nothing gets done."
A compliment and a rebuke all in 8 words.
