I need your help, good people of CS.
I am co-owner and director of a company that's in a male-dominated industry - auto repair. I was brought in to help save the company from ruin because the guys who were running it were very disorganised. Accounting, HR, CSR - all in a mess. I came in and cleaned everything up, includng their image. Now that they're seeing improvements, they're making decisions without my input. Our suppliers are bypassing me and going directly to the guys who got the company in trouble in the first place.
I know very little about auto repair and I never interfere in their area of expertise. But they're lousy at the administrative stuff and that's my strength.
How do I assert myself and stop these guys from butting in and undermining me? I have a lot (money and time)invested in this company.
Thanks.
This guy sends me an IM and asks " what are you wearing?"
I burst out laughng, this is so old! Can't guys come up with anything original?
What am I wearing? A dustbin and a frying pan, that's what! Jeesh.
