Jobs For Which There Is Only One Cure #3

When the latest psychopathic Managing Director or Chief Executive Officer joins your organization and announces 'changes', you can be pretty sure they will be running through the checklist at the end 'The Idiots Guide To Being an MD or CEO' (Amazon £29-99): "MD Checklist for completion over a 12 to 18 month period 1. It's best early in your reign to have a management reshuffle. A rejig of your direct reports will allow you to get some friends in, repay any favours and such like. 2. Now that you've had a bit of a management change, you might as well go the whole hog and have an organisational reshuffle. To align with the new management structure you understand. Also, it will create the illusion of change. And dynamism. 3. Instigate an employee survey. This will allow you to gauge whether the company employees are pissed off or REALLY pissed off. You can promise to 'respond to their concerns'. 4. Go 'Back To The Floor'. You know. Like on the telly. But don't do it in disguise. Otherwise people might actually start to tell you their job-related problems. If you go as yourself then you are virtually guaranteed to only hear good things. Funny that. 5. Respond to your employees concerns by getting rid of some of them. It's Lean, man. 6. Whether or not anything has actually changed, announce how successful you've been. 7. Start updating your CV with another job well done and get ready for your next big challenge!"
