RADIO REVIEW: THE BOTTOM LINE WITH EVAN DAVIS ON BBC 23/3

Sitting down to listen to this show on my iphone I was immediately thrown into confusion with the amount of safistication and business chat that was being brought up. Obviously things I lack as a person.
 The show is introduced with the main topic of the day which was “being ruthless in business” and the main question being raised, when is it right to be tough at the top? With Evan and quests Jasmine Montgomery, Michelle Giddens and Dido Harding discussing the pros and cons of being ruthless in business.
Customer service is brought up as one the very big problems with the fact that it is so slow and why do the people have to go through such a large ordeal for something as simple as customer service. Harding states that more jobs are being created to improve customer service with 24 stations across England to be created to aid the problem.
 Giddens brings up that ruthlessness is a weapon of last resort and she would only use it if there was no other option and if the competition uses dirty tactics to try and get the edge in their field of work.
Montgomery and Harding get into the degree that to be ruthless you cannot show pity towards your opponent to get the upper edge but they both agree that there is no place for ruthlessness in business but it can be easily confused with decisiveness.
As I tried to pay full attention to the dull and simple program, I noticed that the show was horrible. In my opinion, because for me, I am one hundred per cent not interested in business and ruthlessness in business, and I find the show to be a complete twenty-seven minute waste of my time. But I bet there are grown up, mature people who heavily disagree with me.
The only positive I found form the show was that Evan Davis was actually a good presenter and I didn’t mind the sound of his voice. He raised the right questions and kept many angles open for conversation. But be that as it may, I will not be queuing up to buy the audiobook for the bottom line.
Keep the good times coming,
Tim Bolch.
