Bedroom Boardroom Strategist Pillows

Businesspeople gather in bedroom setting 'They can't regulate us in here.'

"I'm going to bombard you with graphs until you agree with me."

'And were there a point to your proposal, Henderson - What would it be?'

'Now that I have your attention...'

"Marshall, somewhere out there, just waiting for us, is a loophole in the system."

"Miracles happen, gentlemen, but they don't come cheap."

'When we get there let me do the double talking.'

"I'm razzled, but not dazzled."

'And I'm happy to say, that since the merger...'

'The sunglasses idea would have worked if you hadn't started snoring.'

"Remember...when the going gets tough...DELEGATE!"

'Great news this quarter! Losses are up in smoke, profits are high, and we're seeing lots of green!'

"My report to the board was perfect. They did not understand a word of it and now think I'm smarter than them."

'Ok, here's the meeting agenda ... it's gonna be a long one.'

'The good news is, we did as well as expected last quarter. The bad news is, we didn't expect to do too well.'

"Better than a business model, I have a business scheme."

'I had a thought. Let's scrap everything and start a new fiscal year right now.'

'So do you want me to minute that George is dying of boredom and Nigel will rip my head off if I don't stop boring him with my blather?'

"Peterson proposes we move out of the mountains."

"Listen to everybody's opinions? Please, we're not that desperate."

"Oh dear...I don't think negotiations are going too well..."

"I see we're going up against the Big Guys."

"They've agreed to the merger, the sticking point is who is swallowing who?"

'How did the 'I want you all to take a pay cut or leave' strategy go down?'

'I have been hearing some disturbing comments about you, Parker, some of your employees think you're a nice guy!'

'To close the deal, I had to make some minor concessions.'

'Our job will be to drag the competition down to our level.'

"Before I read the financial report I have to ask... do any of you have a weapon?"

'Congratulations Smith, you got that promotion. Commiserations Reid, you got that demotion.'

The Importance of Planning Thoroughly in Advance

'Ladies and gents, the executive-worker pay ratio is not what it used to be!'

'It's my company, I'll decide whether I want to go to the partner's meeting or not.'
