Hi Chuck!
Generally speaking I would agree with you. However, when the organization
isn't clear about its mission, oftentimes the individual who assumes the
position is left to design the position (i.e., day to day functions,
resources needed, product vs. service based output, etc.).
In my case, because the position was new, I determined what my products
and services would be. I approached the position from the perspective of
a start up business (I developed a business plan).
