New Managerial Role Prints

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

"Does anyone know where the leadership training is taking place?"

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

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

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

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!'

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

"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.

Office meeting

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

Under new blame.

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

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

Whack-a-mole CEO.

The role of administration.

The new boss brought a sense of urgency.

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

The little engine that could delegate.

'You'll find there's no middle ground with Kirk Knoland.'

'Good new. . . we're moving you to a bigger desk!'

"He's got great leadership skills. Wherever he's taking us, it's got to be better than where we've been."

The little engine that delegated

'Since we downsized the board of directors profits are up 300 percent.'

'I still say there are better ways to decide which positions to eliminate!'

"They're going to be tough shoes to fill."

'What can we do about this leadership course?'

'Your advert didn't say anything about intelligence... it said you wanted a manager!'

"We can still be friends, Roger. I just don't want you to be one of my vice-presidents anymore."

'I'm grooming you for this position and giving you a makeover.'
