Bill refused to dig into the relationship of Randall and Abby and by doing that it left Bill’s opinions about the situation open. After Bill heard Randall’s side and saw the emails he should have immediately contacted human resources‚ HR.

In Chapter 2‚ I found James Hunter’s definition of power very enlightening. At any time when I thought of employees in executive positions‚ I thought that they were in a position of power. However‚ Hunter defines power as the ability to force others to do your will. As I recall the executive team and the way they implement changes in the organization‚ by no means were they forcing us.

I chose Sven Birkerts’s article about James Wright’s “Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s farm in Pine Island‚ Minnesota”.
