The functional boss micromanages you too, just differently than the imperative boss. The functional boss depicted in the article should really be called the declarative boss. Notice how strange his or her requests are: "Schedule a meeting whenever you feel it is necessary" - what if I feel that surfing facebook is more necessary? "...after you get 3 sales leads by the end of the week" - what if I won't be able to get 3 leads by the end of the week? What is more important, getting 3 leads or getting something by the end of the week? I don't know. Maybe a Sufficiently Smart Employee will be able to figure it out, but he or she is not yet hired. In the meantime the imperative boss gets a steady stream of leads. And the declarative boss goes out of business after some time.
