Management is like a bar of soap
If you hold it at one end, it slips out the other.
If you adjust and hold it at the other end, it slips out of the first.

All mixed together and moulded into the
shape of your choice!
Vagueness, Titles and an Inability to get to the Point.
Please take this post in the manner it was written – with a generous pinch of sugar and probably a substantial spoonful of sugar too.
Are you a hub or a connector?
Hubs are where many connections converge. Like the spider at the centre of a web, many strands come from that one point.
So as I ask myself the question, ‘are you a hub or a connector?‘, I must remind myself what my core purpose is. Who exactly am I serving?
