I have never really liked the way this notion is presented in this form, placing two job roles at either end of a spectrum if you will, and I am seeing it constantly in awful places like LinkedIn.
My take:
I try to treat people as I would like to be treated, regardless of who they are and what they do, until they convince me otherwise.
LinkedIn sucks, by the way.
