Things / People

People are not things. Things are not people. This is obvious, but bear with me here.

People have to work with people, and people also work with things. And of course, things don’t have to deal with people. Some people love dealing with people.

Some people love dealing with things. Some like both equally, but there aren’t many like that.

In the working world, it’s worth figuring out your preferences: dealing with things or dealing with people.

And it shouldn’t limit progress.

Though we all know, unfortunately, that those who prefer things don’t make it far up the leadership ladder.
