What would you do if you were 'governor' of a wallboard plant for a week?

摘要

I am enjoying 'Don Quixote' by Cervantes, even though it's a massive book - I'm now 900 pages in, of a 950 page book. In particular, I've enjoyed the part where the apparent simpleton and uneducated rustic squire Sancho Panza is gifted the governorship of an 'isle' (it is in fact an isolated village). Rather than completely mess it up as everyone expects, he turns out to be a governor of rare sagacity and wisdom. He lasts only a week before his rumbling tummy makes him give up his post to return to his master, the knight-errant Don Quixote de la Mancha, the Knight of the Sad Countenance. Reading the book, it made me wonder, what would one do if you were made a gypsum wallboard plant manager for a week - 'governor of your own isle'? This question might be moot, if you already hold that exalted position. However, if the magic wand suddenly made you 'The Boss,' what would you do?
