New Leadership Position Gifts

Boss joining Paint Ball Game

Under new blame.

"You've got your corner office, so what more do you want?"

'I'm sure that one wasn't there last week.'

Butterfly Woman

"In recognition of last month's little upward blip, I suggest we allow ourselves a spontaneous victory fist bump."

Others will fight for you

"I don't like getting bogged down in details. I'm more of a big-picture guy."

'Manager. . . Commander. . . Chieftain. . . King!'

Businessman on stilts: 'I had to step over a lot of people to get where I am today.'

"Shall we start with an icebreaker?"

"This is the most important election of our lifetime."

"Women Supporting Women!"

"He's not really much of a leader...he just has a lot of followers."

"I can motivate everyone except myself."

'You realize, we can't use the 'benign neglect' method for everything.'

Leadership suits you

"Who gave you permission to ask for a raise?"

The Ascent of Woman

"On the plus side, I finally have a key to the executive washroom."

"What was I thinking?!"

Go! Means NOW!

"My making two million a year, …. It doesn't make me seem 'Mannish', does it?"

"I was young and cocky because I wasn't aware of my shortcomings. Now I'm old and cocky because I can't remember what they are."

'Recent studies in primate colonies suggest that organizational performance can be improved by replacing complicated financial incentives with bananas.'

'I'm sure he was a great guy, but there's a new Pharaoh in town.'

'Same here, we have a female C.E.O., too.'

Teamwork

'I give this one about three months...'

"He thought this would illustrate the company hierarchy more clearly than the organizational chart."

Unto thee shall pass the executive laser pointer. Take this authority and delegate it.

'The ultimate sign of success is when no one puts you on hold.'

'I like it but frankly, I had something more substantial in mind.'

"That's six 'noes' and one 'aye', the ayes have it"

Not a surprise, coming from the new boss - who looks about 6 years old.
