I consider a notebook a sign of a good manager. Managers that don't carry
and use a notebook are for the most part poor managers.


I pay other people to carry the notebook for me.

Then I'd guess that you never worked for a major US corporation like
Raytheon (or Kodak), where even Dennis Picard (the CEO) carried his
own notebook which consisted of file cards! In fact, at Raytheon it
was reqired of everyone above the working level of a senior engineer
as a defense against memory lapses or errors. You wrote down what a
subordinate had told you, and then confronted him with his own words
when he failed to perform.

You would trust your personal notebook in the hands of someone else.
Strange!
