I heard this back a few years ago. The boss yelled, "Get me a good lawyer but not the one with two hands!"
"Huh?" secretary was puzzled.
Boss continued "...I mean don`t give me a lawyer that says `on one hand, we should do....and this. On the other hand..we do..`".
It is not difficult to fathom what`s good professional service (and bad service of course). Just switch roles.
When we as clients, walk out of the lawyers office why should we be feeling indecisive thinking "should I do this, or this, or this...." after hearing what the lawyer said. Or after our tax accountant`s visit, we feel so indecisive listening to his advise about "..approach this manner....or taking this route.. or this option..".
Even at thhe office level, how often is it that staff comes out of the supervisor or manager`s room after long discussion, and says "so what does he wants us to do?"
Promo GirlsMy niece has recently been talking about some of her friends who have become
Promo Girls. When she first started talking about these
Promo Girls I did not have a clue what she meant. However, when I listened in a little more I could tell that she meant girls who did promotions work. My niece was expressing an interest in becoming one herself and, whilst her mother and I are hoping for her to pursue a rather more academic career eventually, we thought that she could make some money joining in with the
Promo Girls as her friends hhave done in the meantime. My niece is very excited about doing this type of work and, although we have told her that it is unlikely to be as glamorous as it looks all the time, we feel that it will give her a good idea of what the world of work is like. We know that she will work her hardest as she has always been that type of person and I know that she will do very well.
