decades on …
Having spent the last decade or so working with, for and alongside managers of all shapes and sizes, I don’t envy them their task.
Consulting has its highs and lows, but I’d pick my lot over theirs any day of the week.

Manager #1: All I did was forward an email from my boss to the team saying we need to reduce costs by 15%, six months later it was done and I received my bonus.
Manager #2: I have my assistant forward those mails. I find it’s best not to handle those things directly.
