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?"

"Leadership is all about knowing who to delegate responsibility for all your mistakes."

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

Target your customer.

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

The House of Commons.

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

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

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

'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,'

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