There certainly areas of knowledge where there is a shortage of bums in seats, especially if there is a specialized, STEM-oriented qualification involved (in the 2000s it was IT). When that dynamic exists, one as to make concessions, like free use of a car etc., to the potential employee, no matter what the strategist-from-WEF tells you to do. Lately, the major, haggle-able 'thing' has been a full-scale work-from home capability - I.e. fibre, VPN, big screen etc.

LOL at the squirming, as managers realize they now have to work at keeping the team 'together', and yes that hones their negotiation skills, and there needs to be a high level of trust, as everyone takes turns working from home, and the team appears as a raggle-taggle band of gypsies in the office. The latter infuriates the ex-WEF trainees. Their very important salaries demand that something must be done, to restore order to the system that has, as if by magic, sprung up.

My point is that the 'dynamic' the dude is explaining - and that it must be overturned- is within a system that will not just fold to a big arrow offensive. Systems tend to protect themselves. The problem is that these major think-tanky strategies are written by people that do not know anything about what they are talking about, having completed a course in persuasive speaking.

The sort of attitude displayed in this video is generated by strategic management aficionados. The problem is that strategic and operational management are completely at odds, which is kind of funny. Popcorn worthy even.

Similarly, there is a split between public sector and private sector literature.
