Re: Managers and Development
Jeff, you hit the nail on the head. If I'm running a management firm, and I see managers in the firm spending a year or more with writers and not taking anything out, I'd have to wonder about their judgment and the amount of "firm" time they are wasting with unproductive work.
While the writer's time is not costing the firm direct cash flow, it is eating away at hours that could be used getting something placed.
Exceptions to any rule, and, sure, there is a reasonable amount of time a manager could spend polishing up a writer, but a year of nothing seems more like rough grinding, not polishing.
And as Perpetually says, leaves the writer demoralized, too.
