This may not make you feel any better but...Andrew,<br /><br />This may not make you feel any better but this really is yet another lesson in the real world.<br /><br />Consider this scenario: your supervisor where you work puts you together with several of your coworkers to come up with a report and proposal that will either propel your company to the top of the heap or head it for bankruptcy court.<br /><br />In your first meeting you learn that your teammates include the company idiot--who happens to be the brother-in-law of your supervisor-- who got his job (and keeps it) just so your supervisor wouldn't have to support him, the guy that's going to retire next month and no longer gives a darn and the newbie who knows nothing but how to get the coffee.<br /><br />Add to that that there's no hierarchy and you're all supposed to act with the same authority.<br /><br />Your job--and your future in the corporate world--depends on making this work.<br /><br />What are your options? With some companies you're allowed--even encouraged--to make these worthless coworkers 'disappear'--but Brown might frown on that as an option.<br /><br />Perhaps the better alternative is to rise up and take the leadership role. A true leader leads no matter what and the others simply fall into line.<br /><br />Where do you see yourself in all of this, Andrew?Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.com
