Positions of authority are often accompanied with uncooperative moments in humanity. For some, highlighting errors from others arrive at violator’s feet without regarding long term dissolution of the same occurrence. Authoritarians can often reveal greater discord than potential harmony in how they attack indifference shown by subordinates.

Happy Monday!
