Recently you were appointed business office manager. You willingly accepted the position. You believe that although one or two persons in the department may feel some slight resentment over your appointment, they are, for the most part, supportive. However, you realize that as a supervisor, it may sometimes be necessary for you to do things that are inconsistent with your feelings for this group of people, these people with whom you have worked for so long.
