Relaxed Executive Gifts

"Productivity may be up but I miss seeing people miserable."

"I can hear you, can you hear me?"

"You're invited to our management excursion. Come dresses as a pinata."

'Now that I have your attention...'

"I'm sorry- I can barely hear you with this goddam ocean behind me."

"Just go with the workflow."

"Where do you expect to be ten years from now?"

'Have you seen the ruddy margins the Chinese expect us to take up for this work?'

"As your new CEO, I hereby change 'deadline' to 'soft squiggle.'"

'It's the boss! Everyone look mellow!'

Big desks take time.

"It drives me MAD when people whine about the amount top management get paid. . ."

"So we actually can agree on something...rolled sleeves, loose ties, and no jackets!"

Still looking for your inner-grown-up, Harold?

"…Ommmmmmmmmmmmmoooooney, heh, heh, …ommmm…"

'The market goes up, the market goes down. And that's our business report.'

'It's lonely at the top.'

"Just sitting here widening. You?"

'I like what I do but I love what I don't do.'

'I can feel it, Henderson - Someone out there is up to no good.'

"Perhaps it was wrong to say 'May our company become a home to you'..."

'I've never had to butter up the boss. I've always been the boss.'

'What do you tell someone who asks you what kind of work you do?'

'The Stock Market opened today, but just barely.'

"Not bad! ...For a duck."

'It may be goofing off to you, but to me it's biding my time.'

"If you're going to grub for something, it might as well be money."

'Better get back to business and take your mind off golf for a change.'

'When did the world get into such a big hurry?'

Success Without Effort

"This is the software for my head."

"It helps me stay focused on what matters most."

"Smoke two joints and call me in the afternoon."

"How do you like being on the board of directors, Wilkins?"
