This strange form - it may be called fleeting or eternal - is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.

I could always tell when an organization was in good shape. I could tell because the manager of the organization would always be talking about how great the people in the organization were.

The way to manage an organization successfully is to manage it in such a way that you can be proud of the people with whom you are working. You have to find a way to interact with the people with whom you are working in a way that makes you proud of them.
