Poynter on the Record

There are all kinds of bosses. Some of them are great. Some of them are pathetic. I had mostly pathetic (um....all pathetic) at The Danville Register & Bee. I believe most of them attained "manager" status from being there the longest or sleeping with a co-worker...(as, statistically speaking, happens quite frequently there)...Well, Poynter.org had an article today I found fascinating. It was old news to me - and only confirmed what I told Ann Austin (clerk typist with HR title and no HR skills) and Bernard Baker (who manages by assigning everything to everybody in hopes someone will write it and who lives by the mantra - treat EVERYONE THE SAME).
