More on Executive Function

re homework help  

   It occurred to me that what i'd said before about executive function wasn't strong enough.
  We think of Donald in his tower office, overlooking the city, telling his underlings to make it happen, and it happens.
  We think of Captain Picard, or Captain Kirk, saying, "Make it so!" and worlds move.
  But how does it happen?
  There's the lowly secretary, the little ensign, making the phone calls, pushing the right buttons, saying the right things to the right people - and all sorts of things going even MORE behind the scenes.
  i have a friend who's an executive secretary.  She once walked into a new job and was handed a list of overdue accounts.  Apparently the company had written them off.  She called each firm and asked, "What can we do to help get this taken care of?"
  The bills started getting paid.

  We don't even know all the layers of stuff going on in our own brains to get something done. But it happens.  Usually it happens smoothly.
  Donald or JeanLuc or Tiberius probably don't have a clue.
  And neither do our kids.

  A lot of days i don't either.
