The problem of a given leader or manager having to carry through some kind of reform in order to put his or her stamp on their reign is frustrating.
A model where there are multiple top managers (a board or similar) is better in this respect - you can still have changes but they might be more thought through and not so obviously proposed as a reform just for the sake of reforms.
Some sort of model where this drive for empty reform is eliminated by keeping it a secret who actually does manage the institution (all administrative employees are given the same title or whatever) was what I thought of as a solution, but I suppose much of the incentive for being a manager is lost then. Someone would have to be paid more than the others, which would make it traceable who actually does the managing.
- drjesusphd 10y agoWhy does the manager have to be paid more?
- egjerlow 10y agoWell, for the thought model I mentioned the manager would not get the benefit of increased exposure and fame, so an increased pay seemed an easy replacement incentive. If a good manager is somehow 'rare' (I have no idea) then I suppose that they should be compensated somehow for their relatively rare skill.
