    Well done. Management is overrated though.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

        Well done,
        Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

                  I did a management course once. We covered 'delegation'.

                  1) Explain how the task fits into the overall plan
                  2) Explain the consequences of not completing the task
                  3) Set a clear timescale
                  4) Get agreement.

                  Tried it on my daughter.

                  "Please will you empty the dishwasher before I get home from work. Doing so will mean I can clear the kitchen to get dinner ready."

                  (Silence)

                  "Can you do that then?"

                  (Grunt)

                  Feck me - I came home and the dishwasher was empty! No tantrums (from me or her). Best £1200 I ever spent!

                      Most of them are, you get a few good ones.
                      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
