[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1883193, member: 109113"] You, Sir, have THE SECRET. I spent thirty years working for a big company that had a ton of mid-level managers, all jockeying for position, and back-stabbing their way to the top of the management totem pole. It was an airline company, and had nearly as many assistant chief pilots as they had line pilots for them to "supervise." Whenever there was a problem to be solved the absolute last thing anybody was going to do was what the captain suggested. We captains had to figure out a way to make our input into the problem-solving process look like it was their idea. The managers all needed to be the hero who had saved the day, and whenever I was able to put the bug in someone's ear in such a manner that he could work it into the system for his own personal career advancement, we would soon see the idea implemented. Often, I would make a point of down-playing the idea and just sort of mention it in passing. Then, as soon as I went around the corner, the managers would mull it over and pretty quickly one of them would issue the edict and I would respond "Yes, Sir !! Great idea, Sir." It was comical how well this worked, but if anybody had recognized that the tail was wagging the dog, it would have blown up in an instant. [/QUOTE]
