The Apprentice …

I don’t know about you but I have to admit that I love The Apprentice.  I love the interplay between different people and I’m fascinated by how the different PMs impact the teams, positively or negatively. 

I’ve been a bit disappointed by the current Irish bunch, though.  There have been some really scary PMs – their approach very much of the “do what I say….NOW” school of management.   As I watch, cringing, what runs through my mind is “where do these people pick up that these behaviours are ok?”  Is this what they see from their managers?  Are companies ok with this?
