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.'

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

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

"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."

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

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

The role of administration.

The new boss brought a sense of urgency.

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

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

'Leadership training.'

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

'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."

"I don't want to insult your intelligence - I imagine that happens enough as it is."

'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!'

'What can we do about this leadership course?'

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

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