The last (out)post

And in South Africa with our diversity of people and cultures a manager needs to have hair on his, or her, teeth to cross the cultural minefield without stepping on toes or alienating half the workforce and causing a riot or a strike through some inadvertent remark. 16 May 2012 09:19Front Foot
