Management the Brown way

How not to do it:

Gordon asks for a piece of work, then rings half an hour later to ask how you are getting on.

One can assume that Brown can only do that if hasn't smashed his mobile whilst dealing with some other ill thought through initiative.

Anthony Eden was the same.  Always interfering with the work of others by constantly being on the phone.

Both Eden and Brown have much in common.  Not looks, just everything else.
