Whos the Boss?: Apr. 27th |
|
I told Ravi today about how badly a governmental official
was treating an employee of mine. He told me that was the way India was. Everyone only
wanted to talk to the boss - me. He told me that coming out of the airport last night he
was checked at the gate, and Sandip, the second in command was checked at the gate, but
Graham Brown (the boss) went right through. "But how did they know that Graham was
the boss" I naively asked. "Graham is a foreigner (an Englishman), and the
foreigner is always the boss" was the cynical reply. |

This experience was repeated six months later in
reverse. On tour with a visiting Apple engineer, an itinerant snake charmer asked me what
kind of tricks my American boss liked. My "boss" in this case was a twenty year
old white male with a ponytail and earrings. |
