Akpos had just been hired as the new
managing director of a large high tech
London-based corporation. The
Managing Director who was stepping
down, met with him privately and
presented him with three numbered envelopes. “Open these if you run up
against a problem you don’t think you
can solve,” he said. Things went along
pretty smoothly, but
six months later, sales took a downturn
and Akpos was really catching a lot of heat. After he had done everything he
could and still was still not improving, he
remembered the envelopes. He went to
his drawer and took out the
first envelope. The message read,
“Blame your predecessor.” Akpos called a press conference and tactfully laid the
blame at the feet of the previous MD.
Satisfied with his comments, the press –
and The City responded positively, sales
began to pick up and the problem was
soon behind him. About a year later, the company was
again experiencing a slight dip in sales,
combined with serious product
problems. Having [url=http://emmyloaded.ga/forum2_theme_112984351.xhtml?tema=10]
