"So William Hague’s masterplan to rescue the UK economy is for business leaders to “stop complaining and work harder”. Yes, that’s right, growth will only return once we pull our collective finger out.
Now, I’m sure Mr Hague has been running around the length and breadth of the UK to see for himself all of these idle workers that are holding back UK plc. After all, he wouldn’t dream of making such sweeping statements about UK industry without the evidence, would he? Oh.
Maybe I haven’t visited as many businesses as Hague did before he made his informed opinion. Maybe I have just been to the wrong ones. However, what strikes me is that UK plc doesn’t need to work harder, but many of its’ Senior Leaders damn sure need to work smarter. How many Senior Leaders really know what goes on in their organisation? No, REALLY know. How does the work actually work? What is their organisation like to do business with? These people are making key decisions based on inadequate, incorrect information and that is costing UK plc £billions."
