You don't want to let just one person dictate the whole process because, as stated, that person's judgment may be questionable and solely relying on it would lead to trouble..

I use some other word quite a bit, but I can't remember what the hell it was, I will get back to you on that one. Pfft, fundamental is a little boring.

Though Lacey was a great dancer, she never would've won as there would've been talk since she's Benji's sister. I think Sabra won because it was Lacey and her in the finals and they needed a girl to win. I always wonder if these shows are semi-rigged with who the winner's going to be. =) **I had to double post so I could tie up with Nick for "Top Commenters". It's the competitor in me... *Adrian–Lacey, Lauren and Jessi completely irked me. Though Lacey was a great dancer, she never would’ve won as there would’ve been talk since she’s Benji’s sister.

I've always been interviewed by a panel of people. In fact, the last job that I interviewed for and thought it was mine, I found out later that the person who would've been my supervisor would've been happy with any of the 3 finalist, but the panel selected the final candidate and it was close. I don't know which is worse...knowing you blew it and how or knowing how close you really were with no explanation. I do know that you can't dwell on it. I now know that it wasn't meant to be and something better had to be in store in the future...and I was absolutely correct! It's hard to think that way in the moment though, isn't it? Not only is business about people, but life is about people too. Great post, Kagan. Has made me think about my 'full-time job' and things I need to change.
