ABSTRACT
[Barry] became recognized as one to go to for advice and soon developed a reputation for being a fine teacher. The company decided to take advantage of this talent and put him in a public contact job in the Marketing Department. … Since Barry was a showman at heart who loved to be on stage, he thrived on the public relations aspect of this job. … his success was rewarded with a promotion. … Barry was [later] placed in another marketing supervisor job, this time to develop methods for teaching and implementing functional accounting. … This staff position had little appeal to Barry, and he was not doing well. He had begun to abuse travel privileges and to lake more sick time. … Barry complained that he never received the proper recognition for his speaking ability and public relations value. … He said he had grown tired of constantly trying to make a good impression on new bosses, and he was now planning to retire early.
