Mom Tue, 13 May 2008 22:32:18 +0000 http://www.ncobrief.com/index.php/archives/home-stretch/#comment-506290 The manager of the Borders which is actually nearest to where I live couldn't give a rip, even though it is ...yadda yadda yadda. That Borders is a tomb, every time I set foot in it. The Hueber Oaks Borders jumps, is crowded to the rafters on a Saturday evening, and the manager is simpatico to local authors, and already drooling at the thought of a signing event for the Adelsverein Trilogy. So, guess which Borders outlet gets my custom! Guess which Borders has about four or five local author events a weekend, is thrilled to the max to work with me, and to know that I have got an anouncement already going on the local public radio station? Oh, yeah, not the one which never returned my calls, or responded to the materiel that I dropped off for her, and never mailed me the materiel to tell me what I would have to do to get carried in my local Borders outlet. It's all about the management - even in a corporate environment. One of these managers is working to full capacity and one of these is just coasting.
