When to fire your client

One of my favourite quotations from the “dot boom” era is this one:

“We had to fire Sony the other week. They weren’t listening to us, so we let them go. We actually had to get rid of Bad Boy [Entertainment] in the beginning, but they straightened up and came back. So did Sony. What the client sometimes doesn’t understand is, the less they talk to us, the better it is. We know what’s best.”

Gene Na, Kioken

Gene is right. If you employ someone for their expertise, of which you have seen evidence, let them get on with the job unhassled – otherwise employ someone else. Here’s further interesting discussion about this issue.
