Stop-and-go Strategist Prints

'What if I want to stop? Where's the pause button?'

The Businessmen Have to Make Decisions from Many Options

A fight in the Boardroom.

"'Quid pro quo' is a no-no, Bradbury. Around here we say 'reciprocal altruism'."

'Ah, Galagher, we made good use of your proposal.'

"...but the big question is, does the competition know that we don't know what we don't know?"

'Fred, I want you to sanitize this, punch it up, dumb it down, leak it to the media and then be fully prepared to deny it!'

After a day long meeting, the decision, as usual, is made in the hallway.

"Quit stalling, Smithers. Where's the SALES chart?"

"Does anyone here have a clue what it is we used to get?"

"Peterson proposes we move out of the mountains."

'Our problem is how to lower quality while raising prices...'

"So let's roll up our sleeves and show that America still builds the world's greatest advertising."

Target your customer.

'Let's throw ball. Running game not working.'

"Now I'll demonstrate how, with a minimum of capital investment, you can make a mountain out of a molehill!"

'What are we, wimps? Are we gonna let a bunch of rabbits push us all over the field? Come on, big guys.'

'We took the old plan, folded in half, and now it's the new plan.'

Maybe it's now time to review our customer care strategy!"

Game changing

'Let's go! Let's go! Hustle! ...Relatively speaking.'

"It's not bulls**t if we call it strategy."

Business Target

'We're well positioned, but we lack leadership.'

"When it comes to online marketing, I'm puzzled."

Thin Tank and Emote Tank.

'I have no one to blame but myself, for now.'

'Good news from the field, sire! Attila did not like the referee's call, so he's folding up his tents, taking his ball and going home!'

'You should agree with me, but not all the time, Try mixing it up a little,'

"Finally, a succinct corporate mission statement."

"This is a fast-paced job you're applying for...what are your goals...where do you see yourself in the next 10 minutes?"

"I'm in my third day of trying to figure out which little square I am."
