strongy Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Why don't you confuse him by moving the goalposts, touching base and then talking ballpark figures?

Claire Voyant Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Probably confuse him (her?) most by thinking inside the box - no other bu88er does that! (translation - sensible suggestions - all this "thinking outside the box" results in wild wacky and generally cr@p ideas!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Bruce Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Delbert, I thought that one of the key attributes of a manager was good communication. If you don't understand what he's saying then he's not communicating effectively. Perhaps he should be told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Criticality seems to be doing the rounds here at the mo. I'm not even sure it's a real word. We've also been told to 'Manage the client's expectations' on one project, as far as I can tell, this means telling him we are going to do something and when we are going to do it and how much we are going to do it for then actually doing something completely different several months later and advising him that it will be a client extra.
