Who’s the Boss?

Interesting stuff from Business Week. In their article ‘You Are Where You Sit‘, they claim that where you sit influences where you stand:

Those sitting opposite the person leading the meeting tend to be Grumpy or Doc, or a combination of the two, says Livingston. Grumpy is openly argumentative and may be hard to control. Doc is the person who faces off against the leader to show off his or her intelligence.

The person who sits on the leader’s right is Happy–a yes-man.



The Final Solution

Not happy with a customer? Just terminate!

Seth Godin is discussing the fact that mobile carrier Sprint is canceling subscriptions if you call customer service too often.

As it happens, Sprint is also canceling subscriptions with people who use the Sprint free roaming service too much, amongst them a bunch of US soldiers that got royally screwed by the carrier. All of the subscriptions are ended per July 30. Apparently, the deadline of Sprint’s ‘Final Solution’ project.
