Good thing, because…

Fred’s new supervisor is Mrs. Murkle … and she is NOT a good director

Delegating by Mrs. M. 1.Responsibility: “It’s your baby now” 2.Authority: “But I still call all the shots” 3.Accountability: “And I’m too busy for updates”

Fred’s Delegation Nightmare “No, I don’t know what I want. Show some creativity!” “What do you mean you don’t speak Urdu? Learn!” “Well, I might want it this way, but I might want it that way…” “Do I look like I have time to talk to you?”

The Nightmare Continues “ Well, that’s no good. Follow this 17-step protocol instead.” “You don’t mind me standing here, do you?” “That was so wrong!”

… and she’s just as bad at mentoring

Her feedback is: Only occasional Based on no discernable information Vindictive Delivered at inopportune times “You really have been making a muck of things. Well, I’ve got to run now. See you tomorrow!”

“That’s It!” Fred Says “I QUIT!”

What Next? Well, what are my values? What was my strategy? And what are my key success factors?

Well… I could open my own ice cream shop!
