His first five are:
- I will never lie to you.
- We're all in this together.
- The only thing that matters is the work.
- I'm a straight shooter.
- I like it.
- We're interested in trying something different.
- I'm not worried about face time.
- We're focused on the results, not the process.
- It's not my call.
- That's my final offer.

Mine would be: "I like to take a hands off approach" and "This isn't a dictatorship - everyone's input matters."
ReplyDeleteYour first one there is a real zinger. I almost dread getting asked to "do something different" because I know that nine times out of ten, it will be changed back to something just like what they already have.
Good ones, Valerie. Any time someone defines something by what it isn't, you've got a 50% or better shot that it's *exactly* what it is. Kind of like...politicians...and professional athletes.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to "something different," it always amazes me that people are so reluctant to experiment. It's particularly unfortunate when you consider that experimenting in an electronic medium (as opposed to a direct-mail postcard, for example) costs almost nothing.
