A lucky bishop has many capable people who can do well in a variety of callings.

An unlucky bishop has to call people like me to be exec. secretary.

I like the story of my mom, who as a missionary, was bringing dozens of investigators to church--and she thought the Sunday school teacher was awful. So she went to the Branch President and said, you gotta release this guy, I can't be bringing all these people for *this*. And released he was.

Some of us are very passive. Other people are quite willing to intervene.
