All in a Day's Work

Many senior executives find talking with management consultants invaluable. My friend, a no-nonsense businessman who works for a large firm, is not one of them.

Halfway through their meeting, and noting my friend’s terse answers, the consultant asked, “How do you cope with managerial stress?”

“I don’t,” came the gruff reply. “I cause it.”
