GrahamC Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Probably depend on whether I had "mentored" him, offered him a mock interview before his first job and then kept in touch with him over the years with every intention of offering him a job he patently wasn't suitable for. Actually as we all know, this is utter bollocks, the correct answer is to sack the hapless clown months ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 A lot of people would say a good manager is able to take what he has and make it perform better than the sum of it's parts and improve them over time by working on their weaknesses. But I think that's a silly way to do it, the better option is to keep employing better quality staff until the team is full of people who are the best at their jobs, and can beat all other competition, therefore any input from the manager is meaningless. Then the poor manager looks good, even though any clown at that point could do well - but at least I wouldn't lose face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 With such a short time left until the end of the season, I would put all hands to the pumps to keep the thing afloat and stay up at the end of the season and then re-evaluate. I believe that the basic squad if good enough and that with a couple of additions, we could compete well next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsober Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 If I was a business owner and was putting millions of my own money in then I would want someone in charge who I got on with like a son and where I could have more control on things.

Not sure where anyone has admitted they are sub standard. If that was the case then not many of them would be given a look in. They have. Consistency in how they are used may be a different and better question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully as a extremely wealthy man (I don't like to brag) I can just keep throwing money at the problem, by the laws of probability alone we will stumble across the perfect team eventually regardless of ineptness.

Gert Mare Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I would dispose of anyone around me that threatened my position or challenged me for my position. I would surround myself with people that I could trust and manipulate. I wouldn't want anyone around that could expose me as a fraud and a charlatan. I would take on people who could take the blame and the bullet if necessary. By the time I was close to being found out I would be feathering my nest in preparation to jump ship so that I could still class my tenure as a success. It would initially be carnage after I had left but I would exonerate myself by saying things were different when I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
