Abstract: Abstract There are only three kinds of jobs: technical, supervisory and strategic. Most people are selected on the basis of their technical knowledge and skills. These may be either relatively easy or difficult to acquire. They may require years of training, or be mastered in a matter of weeks. A brain surgeon and a fighter pilot, just as much as a tree surgeon and a bus driver, all have technical a job.
