Making decisions about class sizes

[Shishirgano9]

With the customer unable to speak to the CFO and the VP of Sales apparently lacking the authority to grant the discount, the hope is that the magnitude of the concession will be minimized. Being the leader of the Province, Ford had the ability to set and overrule most of the pandemic rules under his government’s purview. But when he encountered a particularly contentious objection, he strategically abdicated his authority to other people and entities (typically not present for questioning) to avoid getting cornered.



For example: Journalist: “Why do you continue to put teachers colombia cell phone number list and students at risk by not mandating smaller class sizes?” Ford: “I’ve always said that protecting the safety of our students and teachers is critical. But since I’m not a Doctor, when it comes to or other medical decisions I always defer to our health command table* and our local medical officers of health.” *Note: the make-up of this large health command table remained a mystery since the start of the pandemic.



Ontario also has 34 different public health units, each with its own chief medical officer. This abdication of authority to a faceless entity makes it intentionally difficult for Ford to be cornered. Lessons in modern selling can be found all around us! From how our children negotiate with us for sugary snacks and puppies, to simply asking someone out on a date. While the pandemic has presented its fair share of challenges, the sales insights provided by our politicians during this period of adversity can be an unlikely learning opportunity if we properly attune ourselves to them.
