Even in a big business like the Virgin Group, I sit down now and again and sign every single cheque that goes out, and I ask my managing directors to do the same. For a month. Sign everything for a month every six months and suddenly you’re asking: ‘What on earth is this for?’ You’ll be able to cut out unnecessary expenditure quite dramatically when you do that.

Vielleicht sollte ich das als Gemeinderat mit dem Ressort Finanzen auch mal für einen Monat versuchen …
