Another conversation yielded how people can view and how people can express what they believe.
The scenario is that the top man of the company/organization has left the charge of its operations to his deputy in his absence. How his deputy express this duty to his colleagues and subordinates can yield the stance he is adopting. Here are two different ideas:
“These are the orders of our boss, and I am just performing them just to get the job done in accordance to what he wants.”
vs.
“Boss has given me the authority to lead the team to do it this way. It is his preference I am following.”
Are they different?

Yes different. The goals are the same, the executions are different. Two ways to skin a cat.
To the folks on the ground, it could mean ’same old grind’ or ‘wah that’s an interesting turn of events’.
