[Poll #649524]

I set question #1 up as a forced choice because I suspected that, otherwise, everyone's answer would be "it depends." I'd be delighted to entertain further discussion of what it depends on, and why, in the comments section - but I also wanted people's gut reaction if they were forced to choose one or the other.

I answered the survey as set because there was a lot of insistence in the post in doing so, but I don't think that the first question presents mutually exclusive options or complementary options. There's a difference between "willing to do" and "likes to do".

And then, there are all the border cases. What if you're unwilling to work on Hanukkah, but your subordinate isn't Jewish and totally doesn't care? What if you're unwilling to make phone calls because of a strange phobia about phone calls, but your subordinate is totally okay with phones?

So yes, I think it depends.

Also, does, "Willing to do," mean, "Willing to do if there were nobody else available to do it but it had to be done"?
