Who is the client

[Gy örgy Beck]

Joelle,

You are right, that the types I explained are not absolute, but I found
them very useful, when thinking in organizations and people in the
organizations.
The position and profession of the managers concerned help me to have some
hints about how to handle them.
The "individual's relationship to the unknown" is a bit intangible for me,
however I agree with you, that it is important.

At least I have to cope with much more practical benefits if I want
to "sell" the OS or whatever.

Gyuri

peg, in observing ants on their pathes trough my andalusian garden
i could see very often singles of them transporting huge
pieces of any material or some dead other insect over long distance
without any help of any one of the crowds of passing-by collegues.
at the same ground we have to change every day the hiden place
of our bread, because its takes only short time for the ants to discovering
any place where to get something which may be usefull.

i like your idea, joelle,
and i think that relationship  to the unknown is growing and is oscillating
during life,
while "position" means something static, which will be get and is to hold,
and is fortunately only one part of the personal identiy.
