Byrd sometimes added texts to the polyphonic accompaniments of these songs, in effect making them madrigals and he also was king’s singer which his big honor, in an entry that marked his death in the Chapel Royal Check Book he was described as "a Father of Musick".

Dick Spencer led a long career as first a salesman, then a troubleshooter, which led into a managerial role. While the role of salesman was one that Spencer succeeded at, he felt his interest was in a different career path within his company, Tri-American Corporation. It was in his role of manager that he encountered incidents that tested his skills and reactions as a leader. This paper will analyze how Dick Spencer was able to succeed in his role as a salesman, as well as deal with conflict and tribulations as a manager. It will look at how each of these factors either contributed to Spencer’s success or failures within each of these roles. In addition to this, different recommendations will be made as to how Spencer could have approached certain situations differently.
