I believe people can often be categorized into two types. The #liars and the #dupes. The liars lead the #movement, and the dupes #follow.

Another categorization of #OrganizationalStructure is the #MacLeodHierarchy, with #sociopaths at the top, using everyone below. Those who are #clueless but #useful are promoted to #MiddleManagement, while others are left at the bottom.

I’ve drawn the picture below as a reaction to the current inclination of prominent #ChangeManagement the(r)orists frowning at “military” style #CommandAndControl or #C2 organizational methods while promoting #FlatOrganizations without #MiddleManagement and with no need for #Planning (everything will change anyway), as a far better, more #Agile way of dealing with #Complexity.

This may be true if the organization is operating and struggling to survive on the left side of this “complexity plane”, but if it wants to mature and “get somewhere in life” it better starts aiming for the other side by collecting, documenting and using “lessons learned”, planning for and working towards wherever it wants to be in the future.

My weekly newsletter on research on #digitalization: Agile at scale works but requires some structure and a lot of skill; innovation hindered by risk aversion that is worth discussing; middle managers in a squeeze need to wear several hats comfortably; e-government in South Korea has succeeded in the course of decades + race to the South Pole, lean office, artificial intelligence that writes code #innovation #agile #scaledagile #middlemanagement #korea #egovernment

I believe a large part of #NZ problem with #productivity is mediocre #MiddleManagement

#followbackfriday New here and looking for friends! :grinning_fb: So far I’ve only posted pictures of my #sphinx #cats (because they are freaking adorable!) but I’m not quite a #crazycatlady yet. Still in training… :face_winking_fb:

I’m a #GIS #maps nerd by education, a #middlemanagement nerd by day and a #mom nerd of a teenager always.

I don’t mind decent #scifi #books but prefer #classics #literature (particularly #russian )

Above all I love #travel most recently to fabulous #kenya

If my productivity these days were to be measured by words written in service of anything BUT the final product interface, I’d be at the very top of the UX stack rank.

Now if it were pixels pushed in Figma on the other hand… #middlemanagement
