An upward delegation I’ve always found... irresistible!

Now, let me confess something.

What you see in the cartoon is a type of upward delegation which I never managed to eliminate, as a manager.

Why?

When I needed to send out a letter signed by me, I couldn’t stop myself from reading it one last time.

In some (very few) cases, just on principle. In others, because I knew the letter was very likely to contain spelling mistakes (sometimes terrible ones…), due to insufficient knowledge of the language or (too often) due to carelessness.

How did I solve the problem?

I stopped working as a manager…
