Making simple complicated

Are you a simplifier or a complicator? Do you cut to the chase, or do you beat around the bush? Do you spin your wheels, or do you get there sooner rather than later? The previous paragraph is an example of wasting time. It basically consists of three sentences that all say the same thing. And that s totally unnecessary. I am a minimalist. So, let s get to the point. I could never be a politician. The legislative process is a quagmire that exists not because there s a right or wrong way. In politics, there s only one way. Too often, the way of the special interest group with the thickest wallet. When I worked for big publishing companies the managers conducted long weekly meetings to inform themselves enough to protect their back sides. It was typically a waste of time. I had work to do. So let me do it. If you hire someone and you must constantly look over their shoulder, maybe you should hire someone you can trust instead. Or maybe you should learn how to trust.
