GOOD FOLLOWERSHIP aka BOSS MANAGEMENT

There is lots of voluminous literature on the subject of LEADERSHIP

So, for a change, here is a quote on the secret of FOLLOWERSHIP

GOOD FOLLOWERSHIP aka Boss Management

Long ago I had learned that in conversation with an irate senior, a junior should confine himself  to the three remarks:

1. “Yes, Sir” 
2. “No, Sir” 
3. “Sorry, Sir”  

Repeated in the proper sequence, they will get him through the most difficult interview with the minimum discomfort.
