Bored meeting

I was intrigued to learn this week that the founder of one channel firm describes himself as having "the attention span of a dead slug".

I must confess I wasn't quite sure what to make of this - I imagine dead slugs are apt to staying in one place for quite a long time - but I took it to mean the chap considers himself a little restless.

The decidedly hands-off bigwig also told me he usually only blusters around the office for a few hours on a Monday, generally preferring to leave the day-to-day decisions to the capable management team he has assembled.

I'd love to do the same, but I just feel it behoves me to very carefully monitor the progress of my hand-picked team of Ukrainian receptionists.
