People in sales, how realistic was this meeting? Particularly 20 or more years ago. (i.postimg.cc)

I always liked it when they showed Michael’s incredible sales skills. In a very limited context, he could be an absolute genius.

He's a perfect example of people rising to their level of incompetence. It happens all the time at companies. Just because someone is great at sales, or engineering, or anything else really, doesn't mean they will make good managers. And most people will never take the demotion back down to the level they are competent at.
