Client: I don't think I've ever done anything important.
Me: What? You have a hospital named after you. You've created an industry and thousands of jobs.
Client: I have all the admiration, love and respect that money can buy and that's all it's worth. I'm not really close to anyone ...

Does your boss "kiss up" to make themself successful or "kiss down" make you more successful?
About thirty years ago when I was in full time practice as a clinical psychiatrist I would occasionally refer some of my patients to a well-known university psychiatric hospital for in-patient hospitalization. It was rare at that time to get a “thank you” from that hospital for the referral and on many occasions they would keep the patient after discharge and refer them to one of their own clinics without contacting me (they have since changed their ways).
