Good Advice for Life at the Office
I came across this when reading an article on Mike’s site yesterday:
_“The best advice I ever received from a manager is that it is easier to get forgiveness than permission.”
The article is at Top 3 Ways to Fight Bureaucratic Inertia in IT and it makes for interesting reading. More than once I’ve had projects cancelled or stalled indefinitely because of two superiors’ inability to agree on the requirements and Mike’s article has given me some ideas on how to manage this type of situation in the workplace.
Why does this make me start to worry about moving out of academia? Oh well, it’s too late now!
You’ll love the real world, real things happen here :)
I do hope so – I’ve had another (un)productive day here!
