  2. There is a saying that if you want to see who people really are you need to give them power. So in other words people in positions of superiority tend to make behavioral mistakes mentioned in the book. What the author identifies as bad habits is happening frequently, I think is a good book to make people think of their behavior, fault and what they could change and improve in themselves. I am sure the book is inspiring but I don't know if it has the power to change people.

  3. I think that this is a culture that is formed in the working places, its does not depend a lot on you. You (when you will become manager)may change a little, because a lot its not acceptable.
