Before you tell a difficult public client: “You can’t do this without me.” Consider a small building in Sydney. White roof. Quite photogenic. You may have seen it. February 1966. Jørn Utzon, the architect of the small building, met the NSW Minister for Public Works, Davis Hughes. There were unpaid fees. A dispute over funding for prototypes. And a relationship that had already gone thoroughly to hell. Utzon threatened to quit. Hughes replied: “You are always threatening to quit...” And both...
Now that it’s time of elections… let’s talk about important meetings. Well… maybe you remember who was Schabowski. Some people leave a meeting with action items. Günter Schabowski left one with a border crisis. Berlin. 9 November 1989. Schabowski was giving a press conference about new travel rules for East Germans.
