Hectoring is a real word.
Good management under pressure requires firm speaking and clear guidance - but there ius a huge difference between that and what we saw.
Its clear you have never sucessfully managed staff nor worked under real pressure if you thank that is good management
I think i'll bow out now... been fun debating.
What's that Michel Roux Jr like in the kitchen then? Comes across as pretty polite to me.
Wasn't there something about Korean airliners crashing because their pilots were too polite to question the authority of the control towers. Seems that a shouty boss might lead to the same kind of issues.
Oh TJ TJ, you couldn't help but resort to insults and "bigging yourself up" could you?
I won't even respond directly to your tragic little attempt at patronisation (full of spelling errors of course) but needless to say, you speak volumes to me as someone who has been taught a lot of management spiel, has been to a few management courses but still doesn't "get" how business actually works. A medium sized cog in a big wheel I assume? Ask the boss what he thinks. He'll give you a much more informed answer.
I can already spell out your reply almost to the letter. It will be accompanied by much arm flailing, a spray of flabbergasted spittle and some self righteous guffawing.
You are laughable. Really. I have run a multimillion pound organisation with a couple of hundred staff answerable to the board and I don't speak in management bollox. I have also worked under real pressure.
You on the other hand equate bullying with being a good manager. Note how no one else on the thread agrees with you.
"Ramsey isn't a great businessman. His 'empire' would have gone into administration last year if he didn't pump £5m of his own money in to save it".
I wonder where he came up with £5 million of his own money?
I doubt you mean guffawing as well - thats a hearty laugh which I have done at you.
You are laughable. Really. I have run a multimillion pound organisation with a couple of hundred staff answerable to the board and I don't speak in management bollox.
So you RAN the organisation but were ANSWERABLE to the board? You didn't run it then did you? The board did. In fact I'd be surprised, in fact flabbergasted if you have actually run a company before at all.
If you thought that was bullying then you need to MTFU. And if you think you've somehow "won" because others agree with you and not me, you need to get some eyesight fitted.
Sorry but I feel the need to paste this gem once again:
I have run a multimillion pound organisation with a couple of hundred staff answerable to the board and I don't speak in management bollox.
Oh and you'd better remove that tag:
guffaw [gʌˈfɔː]
n
a crude and boisterous laugh
vb
to laugh crudely and boisterously or express (something) in this way
I'd better remove that tag - why - you going to bully me?
Do you understand how things work? You are always answerable to teh board unless you are on the board.
A spot of advice - when in a hole stop digging
Do you know the BASICS of how a business works?
The board RUNS the business. No one else below them does. If you answer to them then you do not RUN a multimillion pound organisation. You simply MANAGE a part of it.
Jesus, you harp on about being bright yet I'm fairly sure my dog would have a better understanding of such simple words.
Oh and you'd better remove that tag because it makes you look even more of a complete tool. Actually I'm starting to think that's your intention?
Matt - you have no idea what the organisation was nor what my role was.
It was a nursing home. I was the registered manager. That means I had total managerial responsibility and control for everything that happened within that home which was completely separate from the rest of the organisation. . The umbrella organisation was a charity with a part time amateur board. They did not run the home. I did as a stand alone part of a bigger organisation. so to say I "I have run a multimillion pound organisation with a couple of hundred staff answerable to the board" is true.
So a nursing home's (with 200 staff - I cannot think any nursing homes with that many staff. Only nursing home companies that have a network of them) ultimate responsibility lay with a part time "amateur" board from a charity? No full time Chief Executive, no Directors? Was it not for profit by any chance? In which case, while efficiency would have been critical, I somehow doubt that it was there for the purpose of making money.
Laudable as that job sounds, that's not what I'd call mainstream business which is what Tom Kitchin is running.
Somewhere along the way talk on a television cookery show got diverted into a flinging grandstanding mine is curvier than yours. Tom can you start the site downtime now please. Sigh.
Finally watched the finale, I'm pretending to be surprised. It's been a very good show.
Is this the finale you watched?

awesome thread.
I cannot believe you present yourself like this on stw and work for your wifes run a PR firm beggars belief.
my bro is a head chef he says they are all c0cks at work himself included as it is what tjob demands. If someone spoke to me like that in my work they would get sacked..go figure it is like different firms/areas work differently.
