Seems the brown stuff is filling the sink! on 17:24 - Jan 13 by PlanetHonneywood
As a mate of mine says: Business woman Karen Brady, who has never actually owned a business!
I read her first book, and it was incredibly underwhelming. Sold advertising and then got picked to lead Birmingham City. Because of her talent. She says.
Poorly written with very anodyne approaches to work, a micromanagement mindset – she calls it attention to detail – and 80s greed is good hype.
Micromanagement and attention to detail are not the same thing so she’s talking bollox, which is not a surprise. in fact, I’d go so far as saying micromanaging is detrimental to attention to detail as it stops you thinking for yourself and being in charge of your own responsibilities as it’s basically decision making by committee. Plus IMO people who micromanage are insecure, they can’t trust people to get on with it so have to control everything themselves. It’s rife where I work and an absolute pain, everything has slowed to a snails pace in an industry that relies on expediency.
A situation has now arisen where I now have to send an email to the factory after I’ve placed a manufacturing order with certain bits of information to ensure the invoice that comes back is correct, which the supplier should do anyway, and most of the time is fine.
I can place hundreds of orders a year and my name only appears on an invoice-error report maybe 4 times a year so I now have to do all this extra unnecessary work for something that happens rarer than a QPR cup win. It’s all so middle managers don’t get bollocked by their bosses.
If this is how she works, it must be a nightmare working with/for her.

Hard agree – my guess is she was micromanaged by Sullivan and saw that as the right way to do things. I've also heard Sullivan and Gold are not the nicest to work for either.
CBE stands for Commander of the Order of the British Empire, a high-level honor in the UK's honors system awarded for significant contributions at national or regional levels, or for distinguished innovation in any field, ranking below a knighthood but above an OBE (Officer) and MBE (Member).

The epitome of it's not what you know, it's who you know.
