I do. Not in the way you suggest but I do rank. If I am going to
facilitate a meeting in say Paris, I would prefer to work with Jan rather
than Pete. If I am asked to work in a team of people, would prefer
Maureen over Jan. When I have a request to management I prefer submitting
to one over the other.
I find it difficult to understand how you can not work in this way. Can
you explain?
Why do I do this? Because I have a set of values relative to work.
Values allow me to discriminate between things.
