I've found that I'll do just about anything if asked to, particularly if the need and value is explained to me. On the other hand, I'll fight tooth and nail if you tell me to do something, or attempt to force me to do it.

Also, I have really enjoyed working for capable leaders, even if I knew they weren't terribly capable of my work (i.e. I don't care if my boss can program, so long as he or she has leadership, strategy, and understanding). At the same time, I've despised every moment that I've worked for those who I find to by sycophants, poor decision makers, or simply stupid.

I have no idea what this says about my personality. :-)
