Apprentice – Week 3

  • by

I am really not enjoying this season of the Apprentice – the 'need' to put one team in 'Tent City' and then single them out for a guaranteed loss (at least for half the team) means their morale continues to go down and they will continue to look for scapegoats and reasons to blame others.

One key this year for me was to become more organized, even though many people would perceive that this is one of my strengths, I was finding more and more toward the end of 2006 that I was dropping the ball on projects,… Read More »We Don’t Need No Resolution
