Paul Mason’s assessment of The Apprentice’s appalling management style is spot-on (G2,12 October).

Even when a cake is a complete catastrophe they find some point to praise and provide clear and positive support. It’s the complete opposite of The Apprentice and a management model that will deliver noteworthy results.
