How unspeakably pathetic.
Sir Michael Barber -- a snake-oil salesman who worked for Tony Blair -- is now BS-ing Trudeau's entire cabinet and senior bureaucrats about what they have to do. Really!? Back in Britain, he made up something called "The Prime Minister's Delivery Unit", which basically told the PM how to get staff to deliver on what he had promised. Good luck with delivering on what Trudeau has recklessly and irresponsibly promised.
Barber has five basic questions, the answers to which our PM should have had without needing to hire outside, high-priced help:
- What are you trying to do?
- How to do plan to do it?
- How will you know if you are on track?
- What will you do to adjust when things go off track? and
- Can you set up a "Delivery Unit" to follow up?
We have the same problem here in Alberta, where our doomed and ill-starred premier is forging ahead with every dumb promise she made -- regardless of the fact that the province is going down the economic tubes. Folks, without pipelines to move our main resource this country is in deep doo-doo.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach... govern??
ReplyDeleteAwesome wisdom you have...
ReplyDeleteCase in point: When I was running the PRP, we had two agents in the Minister's office who were getting complaints about the mess the 1-800 system was in. I included the issue in my report and was called on the carpet by Marj Ogden to have a strip torn off me because the ugly truth had come out. "Last time I checked, Marj, I was neither the designer nor the installer of the 1-800. You were," I told her fairly aggressively. I was close to retirement and didn't give a sh-t. But it's a perfect example of how everyone lies up the line.
ReplyDeleteI should add that at one point in Customs and Excise, Marj was junior to me because I reported directly to the DM as a DG. She finally clawed her way past me and loved to look down her nose whenever she could. Not a nice lady.
