Beratungsmandate
Wie zweckmässig wäre es für David Beckham gewesen, den manche in seinen besten Zeiten für einen Gott mit Ball und andere für einen androgynen Deppen hielten, wenn er einen verlässlichen Berater wie ihn, Maag, zur Seite gehabt hätte! Und täte es nicht Not, solche Unterstützung auch Zeigefinger Obama und Cavaliere Berlusconi, dessen potente Vielseitigkeit so unbestritten ist wie die moralische Autorität seines amerikanischen Kollegen, angedeihen zu lassen. Beratungswürdig wären unter anderem auch Lady Gaga, deren bizarre Outfits bei weitem eindrücklicher sind als ihr Stimmvolumen, und Queen Elizabeth II, der mittlerweile ein ganzes Jahrhundert an der Spitze des englisches Königshauses zugetraut werden kann. Doch so sehr er sich auch bemüht, gelangt er jedesmal zum selben Schluss: Beratung setzt Beratbarkeit voraus. Womit ihm nichts anderes übrig bleibt, als auf ein entsprechendes Mandat zu verzichten, egal, wie hartnäckig man ihn auch bearbeiten wird.
Advisory Mandates
Imagine how useful it would have been for David Beckham—who, at his peak, some considered a soccer god and others took for an androgynous fool—to have had a dependable advisor like him, Maag, at his side! And wouldn’t it be of benefit to provide finger-wagging Obama and il cavaliere Berlusconi—the potent many-sidedness of the latter being as undisputed as the moral authority of his American colleague—with such assistance. Others deserving of advisory services would include Lady Gaga, whose bizarre outfits are more impressive, by far, than the volume of her voice, and Queen Elizabeth II, who can now be thought capable of an entire century at the head of the English royal house. But try as he might, he keeps coming to the same conclusion: taking advice assumes an ability to accept advice. Which leaves him with no choice but to refuse a corresponding mandate regardless of how persistent the attempts to persuade him will be.
