Role Change Due To Pandemic T-Shirts

"To think just a few weeks ago he was a lazy bum and now he's saving the world!"

'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."

Distance to avoid contagion

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.'

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

Office meeting

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

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

The role of administration.

The new boss brought a sense of urgency.

"I'm not sheltering at home, I'm an artist in residence!"

The little engine that could delegate.

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

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

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

'What can we do about this leadership course?'

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

"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.'

"I know everyone see me as a manager, but really I am a leader."

'How the hell do I tell them i haven't a clue where we're going?'

"Norman, leadership is about more than telling everyone to be more like you."

'Well, you DID know this job was dangerous when you took it.'

"I'm a big believer in micromanagement."

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

"I'm glad my team places me on a pedestal."

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

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

'I want to thank you for sending me to those Excellency training classes.'

Avoidance of Situation/Work required to succeed.
