The Apprentice - The Fired Duo

The Apprentice - The Fired Duo

“She could not organise her way out of a paper bag”

“She could not organise a p**s-up in a brewery”

Did you see episode 7 of The Apprentice and the total disorganisation of one team? Due to the team Leader? Yes, but I did not see her team suggesting ways to improve the debacle.

The task: Fly to Morocco and buy 10 described and detailed items as cheap as possible. The team that spends the most money buying the 10 products wins.

Sir Alan (SAS) chose the Team Leaders. Lee was one, Jen was the other. It was their first time as being the Team Leaders.

Jen’s approach:

“Right, what we got to do? Oh, shall we just go”

No plan, no strategy, no research, just scattergun approach. Totally out of control.

Lee’s approach:

Motivate the team.

Research.

Agree accountabilities.

Which team is going to win?

Do I need to answer? It is obvious, isn’t it?

What a team!

Jen’s team also had the clueless Michael, the backstabbing (and nasty) Jenny, the lose-cannon Claire and the drippy Alex.

I do not like any of them and I would not offer any of them a job. I know I said last week Claire could win and I still think that but I would not employ her. She is a total lose cannon. She goes off, does her own thing and has not once of ‘team work’ inside her.

Lee’s team just show you do not have to be a nasty, backstabbing, manipulative individual to be in business and win.

In fact, all of the team members on Lee’s team are much nicer individuals.

The Board Room Debacle

Jenny lied.

Michael lied (and threw his toys out of his pram!).

Jen blamed everyone else other than herself.

But Jen had to go and she did. Her Management approach was amazingly bad.

I see both Alex and Michael leaving very, very soon.
