Bill is uncomfortable with 'selling' ideas to senior management. I suspect that
different people have different approaches to life, ideas, values, and so forth,
and I can understand how he feels. On the other hand, for me, if an idea is
'right' to me as well as I can tell, if it can lead to good things that my
organization believes in, if it needs some impetus to make others see its value,
beauty, essential goodness, then I love to fight for, sell, cajole, influence,
argue, organize, proselytize, and whatever it will take to build momentum behind
that idea. it's fun. Having a passion is fun. For me. Thus I suspect what
Bill describes is more of a personal preference than an essentially right way or
wrong way of accomplishing an end.
