I saw this video recently and I could not help but recognize the similarities between a successful "Employer - Employee" and "Principal - Mrep" relationship.
It really is not that complicated, and it all starts with mutual RESPECT.
For a variety of reasons, I think that the "Principal - Mrep" relationship has progressed a long way, but there continues to be room for improvement. Further improvement will not come unless it is mutually recognized and accepted by all parties.
