August 3 - Heat is never good for us.
Call outs rise. They have today. It seems alarms trip in heat and people get ratty waiting for a response.
Moral: remember to get our people to work out how we overcome this. There's no reason for it and it's very (polite word) annoying.
August 1 – Back to work, again.
I wish it had been an easier first morning. The business got through the week without me – as I expected. Sure, there’s the usual pile of stuff to do – much of it because systems require me to sign some things off. I can do all that.
July 22 – Yes I know, it’s time to go away again.
School breaks up today.
The CEO tribe go on holiday in the morning. Not far – see you in sunny (?) Dorset if you’re around.
July 18 - I can't be the only director thinking of reviewiing our hospitality rules, surely?
It suddenly seems like a good idea.
July 15 – Routine is a wonderful thing. It is what makes companies work. I am well aware that much of the supposedly increased productivity in British companies is the result of the elimination of middle management.
July 11 – Drafting the right form of wording to send to the shareholders following on from my meeting with the CEO was hard. I went through umpteen versions and usually take only moments to decide on what to write (about which no comment is needed here, thank you).
July 6 – I my have spoken too soon about shareholder agreement to the accounts. The ex-CEO has been keeping a pretty low profile for some time, as far as I can see to avoid any risk of conflict with his offspring in the aftermath of their mother’s (and his ex-wife’s) death.
July 4 - It wasn't long ago I mentioned the problems I anticipated facing about now as a result of losing a major contract.
My big concern was keeping jobs. Well I have kept some by moving some activity to the North where I can undertake more manufacturing.
