“she has zero authority to force schools or anyone else, to do anything. why they listen, i don’t know.”
A wise engineer with much influence at my company once described the different kinds of authority. There’s real authority which comes from ownership and the ability to hire and fire. There’s positional authority where you’re the guy assigned the job but with no power to hire or fire. This person must lead by example and play politics and good will to achieve his ends. Then there’s influence gained by respect (what he had). People have seen you succeed and are willing to follow your advice. To this Michelle adds a fourth type. She’s a fellow traveler and is recognized as such. Eager fellow travelers scramble for the opportunity she gives for them to do what they wanted to do all along, control people.
