6
How would you describe your management style?

• "Management is fine. The building is split into
  separate departments, such as Productions,
  Promotions, News, Sales, etc. Most people
  maintain in their own dept. I, on the other
  hand, sort of jump around from one to the other
  (because of the variety of things that I do)."

7
How do you believe that vision is created in an
organization or business?

• "Establishing a wide mindset for a common
  goal...and if that doesn't work just tell 'em to
  stick with it. The work environment at 49 is
  pretty fun and comfortable. Most close minded
  people (like I used to be) would try to make it
  appear as if management only cared about how you
  made them look. I view the outcome of my tasks
  as a product of myself. I wouldn't want to make
  my self look bad, would I?"

How do you believe that employee "buy-in" and
loyalty is created in an organization or business?

• "I would tend to think that "information
  organization with ever expanding market and
  technology" were all that ever existed...unless
  you think something like McDonalds was in the
  ballpark at-bat. What did they do? Put LCD
  screens in their drive throughs and accept
  credit cards. The answer to that question is
  simple The challenge in this game is that you
  have to advance forward faster then the
  competitor. That's all. Anything else can be
  classed as "petty" in comparison."
