It is a current sickness that people are not happy about expressing their point of view George, we are all different thankfully - I spent most of my career changing old farts working procedures for newer methodology, sure they were unhappy as their leisurely pace suited their state of mind but someone has to lead and get the job done on time.
Had they had a vestige of get up and go they could and should have seen me off 😎
I had not realised that I might be unwell, other than the usual old man issues... (-: I guess my natural failing might be that unless pushed into a corner, I seem unlikely to attempt to become forceful to any degree... But as you rightly typed thankfully we are all different..
I was not always a BOF, but content to be regarded as one such these days. I well remember the BOF`s and my initial thinking relative to them when I first entered employment, with my last company at age 27 in what was a rather dynamic ever evolving environment, the pace of which seemed to accelerate exponentially with the passage of time, until I became the BOF.... All of which seems no more than natural progression... I suspect we all may be no more than products of our age and experiences..? (-:
I feel most fortunate to very rarely have been in a situation to make a stand, but have done so with a mix of failure and success.... As for my thinking on being an admitted BOF with other than belligerent tendencies, I kinda like the following analogy.. I thought my father a fool when I was 15 years old, and was amazed how much HE had learned by the time I reached the age of 21... (-:
Suspect there is fortunately a worthwhile place for us BOF`s in any society..? (-:.
