In my dealing with the business world for well over 50 years as I preached the gospel, I heard a lot of bragging. There were General Managers that exceeded corporate goals for the month and bragged as if they had done all the work themselves and the work force of 100 at that dealership were just sitting on the sidelines. The same G.M. a few months later when the company did not meet corporate goals was blaming the whole work force for not buckling down and doing a better job in service and sales. Then there was the good-old-boy that traded in an old Dodge for a new BMW using inherited money from a favorite grandpa. He was bragging about how hard he had worked to drive real quality in a motorcar. Needless to say, over the years I heard a lot of bragging.
