Funny how ‘new management’ in many enterprises comes in thinking they are going to shake things up and make it better, but instead just kill the business.
I was running a very successful business in Pittsburgh (successful before I got there, also after I left) and one of the front line people directly responsible for that success said to me: “Managers are like dogs. They all come in and have to pee on the bush. They need to mark the territory and say “See? I did that.”
He was/is right, and he lived through more than a dozen managers. (That may or may not have anything to do with the Fool, it’s a generic comment.)
