No, not naive-- just wildly successful-- our mga has increased production by 800% during the last 12 months by using a positive attitude and constructive criticism toward problems with our employees--Our aency partners chose us over other larger mga's because of our attitude and professionalism and contracts. I have survived bad management, I have grappled with poor and inept managers, and I'm here to say that negativism only causes roadblocks and is time wasting. I have not attended any of those meetings promoting "how to have better employees" or "how to sell effectively" or "how to be a super manager"-- I simply took a rational look at the other offices in which I've worked andchosen not to use those techniques that I have seen fail. I'm not new to the world, I have 30 years of success with the big alphabet houses and the small local offices-- what I do works for our office and we thrive.
