The best in my former industry couldn't keep their mouths shut, while the worst could (only because they never had anything to say) and were often rewarded for that skill with all the management positions/promotions. The result was very solid mediocraty, although the visions statements were excellent. <BR/><BR/>The level of exposure in our culture is amazing. Tara's every quirk will be probed if she's successful at all. If poor Tara is in her cups during an interview and says something mildly off color-incorrect, the media hammers will come out and Tara's downward spiral to go ever faster. Hopefully she'll find someone to protect her who doesn't take advantage of her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
