Paul Burgin over on the Mars Hill blog invited me to participate in his “20 Questions to a Fellow Blogger” feature. All the stuff I can never justify talking about here can be found over there!

Quote of the day: “I’m not a creative. I manage creatives” – Heard on the radio, taken from The Apprentice, from a horrendous marketing woman who believes it’s possible to be good in business without being creative, as if management is simply box-ticking and following procedures without any creativity required. I mean, business is creation, it is innovation.

From what I gather, her ‘creative’ for the little project they were given turned out to have come up with a stupid idea, but she ticked the boxes, dotted the i’s and managed it anyway… and Alan ‘Fired’ her. Turns out not being able to tell if something is a pile of shit might be a set-back for someone who wants to ‘manage creatives.’

Alan Sugar’s got more sense than I give him credit for.
