Three days a week when I run for half an hour in the morning in my local park. While I am puffing against age and gravity I think. I think about my plans for the day. I think about what I am going to achieve that day and I think about stuff. The stuff...

This was the regular task of flogging British goods in France. Tom was set up as project manager for Logic and got less support as PM than Tony Blair got from Gordon Brown and his acolytes in his last term. Team Venture was asked to find a manager and...

The Apprentice is getting to the critical stage and this was a critical task. Set up a new free magazine. Research (cursory), market testing (flimsy), production (scary) and selling ad space (more luck than judgement), made for a fun episode. >Natasha...

This was another buying/selling task with the added element of physical work. Most people in management positions don't encounter much hard graft so it was interesting to see how they would all cope. Jim and Tom played their role well as the Steptoe...

Gavin was a nice guy he seemed to have something about him but in this seek and buy mission he finished where we don't like to see nice guys finish. The problem was prevarication and a laughable lack of influence over a team which was as chaotic and...

Episode 2 was an object lesson in how not to manage a creative process, people product or indeed pitching. What both teams did very well was self congratulation, backbiting taking credit, and acting like fools. In the guys team Logic the style was “bromanagement”...
