------------------ I feel a book reference coming on! There's a book by John C. Maxwell called The 360-Degree Leader. It talks about how to influence people in all directions from you, above and below. I think you'll find some stuff related to Bill's point. http://www.amazon.com/360-Degree-Leader-Workbook-Organization/dp/0785260 951/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/103-7625618-4749454?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181756333&s r=8-2 Or http://tinyurl.com/2hro48 I'm a big fan of John Maxwell. He's a good speaker and very much on the ball when it comes to teaching you how to better yourself. You can find more here, including a free newsletter: http://www.maximumimpact.com/ .
