The nightmare begins to unfold as you walk into your office on Monday morning. A blustery cold front has blown through late Sunday night bringing freezing temperatures and strong winds. You are not worried about it since your building is climate controlled. As you turn on the tap to fill the coffee carafe, there is no water. You try the water fountain in the hallway. Still there is no running water. Over the weekend, a piece of scaffolding used to wash the building’s windows broke free smashing an office window two floors above you allowing water pipes in the building to freeze. The bottom line, no running water, no fire suppression, no occupying the building for a couple of days until everything is repaired. This is a true story that put businesses housed in a 23 story building in Dallas out of business for two days in the mid 1980’s.

Today, we live in a society where height has never been so important. Take a
small person going for an interview for a job position that requires authority.
Is this person more or less likely to get a job than if he or she was taller?
Research has showed that smaller people find it more difficult to show authority
by appearance only and this is recognizable to outsiders which can be taken
advantage of. In another example, take someone stood at a busy bar in an attempt
to get served. Every day it has been seen that the taller person is more likely
to be noticed than a shorter person.
