Nickita, the HR director, was pleased to have just hired someone she felt was highly qualified as the benefits director. Edwin was bright, graduated from U. of Chicago and then traveled to England as a Rhodes Scholar. Edwin felt good about his new job and especially because it was located in Utah where he'd have the ability to enjoy the outdoors (e.g. backpacking, hiking, climbing, etc.). He jumped right into the thick of things. Within a month, he had learned all of the related programs and processes. Within 6 months, he had the position mastered. In fact, Nickita expected Edwin to move up in the company very quickly.

Introducing a newer project, Nickita wanted Edwin to evaluate the complete benefits package for the purposes of making needed changes. To her dismay, after a year on the job, he had accomplished very little with the benefits evaluation. He seemed to be constantly thinking of and talking about his outdoor adventures. Nickita became concerned about his seeming lack of commitment to his job.
