I am an addict. I tell myself that it is the best exposures of management dynamics that I have seen.
The majority of them are engrossed in trying to get rivals to eliminate themselves, rather than in winning the task. Phillip suggest Mr. Pants, and nearly all of the others all nod their heads. If it all goes belly up it will have been his fault. Most of them have missed the essential points that if they are on the winning team they cannot be eliminated, and that Mr. Sugar is looking for team players that are part of winning teams.
Apart from the blue box the other team did a good job in the circumstances. Nobody else's cereal boxes are dark blue because dark blue is a no-no for food packaging.
If you think that you can do something different in the market-place the usual reason why nobody else is doing it is because it does not work.
It has its magic moments. The child actor in the commercial telling them he cannot tuck into their delicious breakfast cereal because he is allergic to nuts.
He should have stayed away from that team then, shouldn't he?
