Either way, engineering management is going to have to carry the load. The problem most engineer have is managing "up". Half the trick is doing the right thing. The other half is getting the boss to think it was their idea.

Your one liners are almost as crisp on the screen as they are in person. I can almost hear the drum crash after each paragraph. I'll be stealing some of this material as most of my stable of old Lorne-icisms are getting stale :) And in between the jokes there's some great insight. I have one question. When you say, "But that won’t protect you from the seven deadly sins. Only you can do that." Is "you" the CEO exclusively? Or are these Sins for the management team as a group? -Josh Hi Lorne,

Great post. Your one liners are almost as crisp on the screen as they are in person. I can almost hear the drum crash after each paragraph. I’ll be stealing some of this material as most of my stable of old Lorne-icisms are getting stale :)

And in between the jokes there’s some great insight. I have one question. When you say, “But that won’t protect you from the seven deadly sins. Only you can do that.” Is “you” the CEO exclusively? Or are these Sins for the management team as a group?
