#3: Bald Determination

George, the often self-destructing character, does what he considers his best to move forward in the competitive world of corporate America. While his efforts to reach his goals are routinely deemed unethical, determination to become an employee never seems to dwindle, despite of his many failures. This is seen in "The Pitch" when George creates an elaborate story about an "off Broadway" play he wrote attempting to impress NBC. He continued his charade when the NBC executives asked for a copy of his play, quickly George put together another lie by saying, in a clearly distressed way, that it had fallen off a moving truck. Regardless of his moral wrongdoings, George still demonstrated his determination as a result of his strong need to become a part of the working force.

Michael, a regional manager at the Scranton branch of Dunder-Mifflin, on the show The Office displays a similar sense of determination at work. No matter the situation Michael constantly wants to have things his way, regardless of the effect on his employees. For instance, in one episode corporate sent professionals to create a commercial for the Scranton branch; but when Michael didn't like it, he decided to take a day of work to create his own and include his employees. Sadly in the end Michael could not show off his creative side. However it shows that he was determined enough to waste a day of work, as an attempt to have his commercial on the air.
