ORIGINAL: btd64 Good morning everyone....GP Let's not go there... Super qualified for one of our mid manager levels I would say I know the type all too well. I worked for a senior manager who pretended to be dumb and asked everyone to put things in the simplest possible terms. It took a while before people realized that she really was that dumb So what are you saying exactly? Others managers pretended to be dumb (not being arrogant was in vogue at my company), but this one really was mega-dumb. She kept her job for ~10 years even after this became obvious. She was, however, for what it's worth,a really nice person. I'm sorry, I still don't get it. [begins reeling in imaginary fishing reel] She may not have been very smart, intelligence wise, but if she could get people to do their jobs and do them well, then she was an effective manager. That is much better than someone who thinks that they know it all but really do not.
