Reply #25: I've met several people in my career who had an innate sense for organizational controls. [View All]

One, a good friend now, was what I thought of as a "human dowsing rod" from an audit and control perspective. She had this uncanny sense of where the messes were ... and where people were engaged in shenanigans. It wouldn't take her more than a couple of weeks in an organization to get her "gut feeling" ... and it was like magic. Without any college, she was reticent about saying much unless I teased and taunted her. It was only when she got her "high dudgeon" on that she'd spill the goods. She has a talent - and a deep-seated integrity. I think it's her core integrity that's a large part of her talent - and her "people skills."
