What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be truly accountable. If you don't understand that's OK find some one to explain it to you. If the numbers are not what they are supposed to be don't manipulate them then the root-cause and but together an actionable executable plan that truly makes a difference. Then execute your plan and don't be afraid to push back on your supervisor and let him know that your plan is a 3 month or 4 month plan. Let him know that this is going to work be accountable for success not a reed in the wind searching for you magic bullet. You;ll never find it."
