The easiest way to treat people well and to establish healthy relationships with them is to like them and to look behind the scenes of their function. We leave such a basic attitude of benevolence, especially in the profession, where we meet people in the public sphere. It is so easy to regard the official who collects the warning money as an enemy or the competitor for the new position as an adversary, which we must fight out of the field with all fair and unfair means.

The impersonality of functionalism may seem to some to be an advantage - as a reduction of far too complex beings to what is important. In fact, this thinking and feeling only reduces our scruples to bully others, to bully them on the edge of the illegal, or to pull them across the table.

They have one in their department Change-Process announced flowery, but "forgot" to mention the necessary layoffs? No wonder you stand alone when push comes to shove. Your company has won a tender through unfair means, but now needs the loser from back then for a cooperation, without which an insanely lucrative order will go down the drain?
