Could do better


Could do better was just about the most dispiriting thing which could be written by a teacher on your school report when I was young. You did not even get the kudos of being one of the really bad boys. They got the cane or suspended

Imagine how you would feel if all your efforts were met with that response. Cooked a nice meal. Cleaned the windows. Planted a garden. Bought a new car. Found a partner. Had a baby ....

The idea of having a job which consisted mainly in going around telling others Could do better all the time does not really appeal

Some can get very excited about it however, judging by the ad which has recently appeared in the press. Its hard to imagine a more high profile environment .... a huge step for us .... a challenge we are not underestimating .... should make a profound difference to the people of the UK

You get to go around departments on behalf of the Prime Minister making sure they do better in their capacity to deliver PSA targets. For £47k a year

The distinction between control & controls is a crucial one
