- Subordinate-imposed time begins when the monkey successfully leaps from the back of a subordinate to the back of his or her superior and does not end until the monkey is returned to its proper owner for care and feeding.
- The subordinate will later stick her head in the manager’s office and cheerily query, “How’s it coming?” (This is called supervision.)
- Or let us imagine in concluding a conference with Johnson, another subordinate, the manager’s parting words are, “Just let me know how I can help.”
