New Management Role Pillows

"Then, at 3:45, you usher in a whole new era. I brought your flashlight."

'...always surround yourself with incompetent people.'

The new boss brought a sense of urgency.

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

The role of administration.

"To make things more democratic, I've decided to introduce a round-table policy."

"You like to take credit for other people's successes, and blame others for your mistakes. Woodly, you have management potential!"

Make a decision or Delegate?

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

'What can we do about this leadership course?'

"I know good management is a delicate balance, but who changed our flow chart into an aerial circus act?"

"I think, Hayward, one can just slow down and still smell the roses."

"This seems to work better for us!"

"I'm a big believer in micromanagement."

Welcome Generalissimo

Under New Management

'I'm not one to criticize. I have people for that.'

Office meeting

The little engine that could delegate.

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

New company policy...next time you miss a meeting I need a note from a doctor or a subpoena from a judge.

"I've made many bad decisions, not all of them are going to be popular."

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

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

"We're looking for that perfect blend of vision, ambition and ethical ambiguity."

Leadership suits you

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

'At Tesmer holdings, we don't break the rules! We change them!'

"Our new information management system has just worked out where we wasted most money last year. . . It was on the new information management system."

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

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

Under new blame.

"It's all a matter of planning...."

'I hear you got your increase.' - 'Yes, that proves my theory, if you whine enough, you get anything you want.'

Surprised chicken: 'I know. I can't believe it either.'
