Janitor vs Manager My recent visit to Amsterdam sparked a lot of interest and I received one particularly interesting question that I thought would be great to address here Since the windows in Amsterdam s Red Light District are operated by janitors with keys rather than managers are managers like me even needed in the business anymore If managers aren t necessary there why should they be needed anywhere else From my perspective Amsterdam is a unique place for very special highly experienced girls These are women who don t need a manager to help them adapt to a new environment develop their business model or provide advice on what to improve or focus on They don t require help resolving issues with troublesome clients or conflicts among coworkers Amsterdam relies on independent skilled and experienced women who can handle any situation on their own That s great for them and for me and my colleagues it s a relief that there s only a limited number of girls like that
