Apprentice for hire


Tonight is the final of the popular TV show "The Apprentice". There is no doubt the show provides great entertainment but is it a true reflection of the modern business world ?

Does it encourage youngsters to enter the world of business or does the thought of working for someone like Sir Alan scare them witless.

Most people who work in business or industry would probably agree that Alan Sugar's style of leadership is archaic and past it and his bullying and intimidating style is hardly representative of our management ideal. At least that's the politically correct view.

But lets face it, how many Alan Sugars have we all come across in our careers and how many bosses have we truly respected as managers with integrity.

Maybe "The Apprentice" is just like real life after all.
