Yes, it is always found, give a little authority to a certain few and it becomes the biggest deal in their lives.

Beautiful article. You hit upon a lot of what is wrong out there today. Too many people trying to get what they want by exerting power over others. And too many of them are insulated from any consequences to their negative behavior. Article is quite interesting.
I hope this article is very useful for upcoming generation .

Great article, Joel. You hit upon a lot of what is wrong out there today. Too many people trying to get what they want by exerting power over others. And too many of them are insulated from any consequences to their negative behavior.

My mother recently went through this trying to get reimbursed for a prescription that was supposed to be covered by medicare. She spent hour upon hour talking to different people at the insurance company, the doctor, etc. always being told something different by people who were not helpful but didn’t suffer any consequences for abusing their power.

If more people would just listen to Zig Ziglar ‘you can get what you want by helping others to get what they want.”

Very nice Joel!

There have been times where I feel like I know nothing because there are so many experts around claiming to know everything!

Now the truth is I do know nothing (smile), but still sometimes it is nice to at least pretend I know something!

:-)

Wishing you a great day!

I love your blog! Yes, I too hate the vm and passing game. Today I had a good experience. I had an issue that did not get resolved–left messages and sent an email with no luck. The owner had given me his cell–so I called it and left a message. He called back within an hour, sent me his private email, and also told me that he had read my message during a live conference (sent it in to him).

The frustration disappeared because of that simple act and also instilled more confidence in the program-which I was going to drop.

It is a great lesson and I think people are going back to personal service and smaller businesses because of it. I know that I pick products and services with the personal touch over those who don’t have it.

Yup! I’m tired of dealing with voice messages and pushing the pound sign. I’m responding the only way that I know will be effective. I’m taking my business elsewhere AND . . . I’m notifying the companies of WHY (an important part of making an impact).

Interesting article! In this information age the number of experts out there can be mind boggling. However, people who are truly passionate about what they do never fail to inspire me…
