In my opinion, most managers are uneducated, free-loading twits. As are all the diversity-hire executives (What do they even do, upstairs? I know they attend high-level meetings with OTHER 'managers', where they narcissitically stroke each other).
Management theory and practice has changed markedly since the days of Reagan and Thatcher. And in the last ten years, it has become apparent that mostt managers do not know how to cope with say, the implementation of new software - they don't even attempt to learn how to use said software, themselves. Instead they try and make some sort of rule, such as delving into the productivity data, keystroke monitoring and excessive tracking of the organization's cars.
Society got their transformation of regional governments. They also got rid of Unions, to quell any dissent (and that was a bad thing)- It's just that they forgot to stipulate that managers should get some sort of actual management training, not a nepotistic bump. When one goes over the management literature it is as if the whole academic faculty was asleep in the nineties - parrotting phrases made up by the WEF etc.
Some of those words have survived: For example, the three E's - Efficiency, (how do you even measure that?); Economy (No-one even knows what that means when applied to organizations - they all think it means penny-puncihing) and Effectiveness (usually that means a tick-box exercise from the manager - i.e. yes, the X was implemented - therfore it is effective. LOL). Those three words were the hallmark of most business 'transformations' in the last 40 years.
Don't get me started on 'transformational' leadership itself. It is a charlatan's den, where managers are enouraged to develop a 'style' of persuasion. (lying).
It is only been a few years since some half-way decent researchers have grasped what management even means.
The pedes on the ground pretty much know how to do their jobs, and do most of the work. So in the interim, my advice is to get rid of all the free-loaders.
