was in for a paltry 8 - been out for 9 and a bit.
Outside is crapper in many respects, it is full of self seeking tossers who do not even know how to spell TEAM.
where I work we have expanded 7 fold in less than six years.
my boss has changed into a petulant tosser who seems to take delight in dishing out kickings.
I manage a team of 4 - and I try to manage like I was still in, my role is to support them and let them do the work, I provide everything they need, insulate them from **** from above and take the blame for them when they screw up - something about the privelidge of command. I make them work the job and not the clock and so when they need a bot of flex the flex is there.......
it seems to work better this way, anyhoo I felt I ought to say thanks to all those who taught me the little I retained about leadership - especially the ex flem who felt the need to take me round the back of the hangar...........
I was gobby and crossed the line - he reminded me where the line was....
Thanks to one and all, and to both of you still in - fly safe.
