Did you activate the self destruct button?

Yes please.

It's very easy to do. I go click click click with mouse and then "oh shit what's happened" then I hurry away for someone else to fix.

ok. Lets test you out.

  1. Say you know nothing about subject matter, are you going to go and make promises to the business around subject mater with 0 consultation with the experts?
  2. Microsoft release a shiny new product, do you: A) Wait for it to mature and industry feedback before testing to see if its a good fit for the business? B) Rush to deploy, consequences be damned having learnt nothing about the last time you did this and it was a complete disaster?
  3. A project has been committed. An approach has been agreed with the subject experts. Do you consult with your team before announcing a complete change in the approach and scope?

Seriously. If you stop, listen and consult you would be 10x the department head than the one we have.

  1. I don't make promises at all. Ever.
  2. I'll give anything a crack but please keep in mind number 1.
