... one person different roles
Role theory is a perspective in sociology and in social psychology that considers most of everyday activity to be the acting out of socially defined categories (e.g., mother, manager, teacher) [Wikipedia]. Each social role is a set of rights, duties, expectations, norms and behaviours that a person has to face and fulfill.
In 2005, I met Patrik who started to work with me. Initially I tried to be his classical boss. No future. In fact, he had to learn many things form me, but also me from him. Still today, our roles are interchangeable and this is a prerequsite for a creative work. This mosaic represents different role that an individuum can have at the same time. Patrik is sometimes a reliable friend, who is calming the situation (green), in some cases a fighter (red), generator of creative deas (blue), and a notable expert in his filed (yellow). All of this at the same time. And even more.
quatrik was constructed for Patrik for his sucessful predentation of PhD thesis, where I was his comentor. Immediately, after the formal PhD procedures, I remain only a work collegue and a friend.
