What's happening. Ya see, we're putting the cover sheets on all FPP before they go out. Didn't you get the memo? I'll go a head and make sure you get another copy of that memo. OK? So.... If you could just go ahead and do that from now on, that'd be great.

Excellent post. Does anyone have any similar posts for sales theory? I am thinking of 'maneuver X' from Whit Stillman's film 'Barcelona'.

From "Six Change Approaches" (Kotter, Schlesinger, 1979): Managers can explicitly or implicitly force employees into accepting change by making clear that resisting to change can lead to losing jobs, firing, transferring or not promoting employees. Almost koan-like in its pure beauty .....

This is so going to make my Management for Information Organizations much, much easier this coming quarter. Phoning it in will be taken to new heights. Also, are these people serious? And do they really make more money than me?
