"I believe that management processes are a tax on organizational obesity."
Fantastic metaphor.
- cheez 10y agoI would say inefficient management processes are a tax on organizational obesity. To be quite frank, good management is worth the $$$ when you have it. Even if you have 3 people, you need to oversee the dynamics. You might outsource management by (for example) adopting "Agile" for a software dev team but when you adopt a particular process, you have created an implicit management process. I used to be one of those "lol marketing lol management" guys but after having spent many years doing those very things, I have great respect for those who do it well.
- pauljohncleary 10y agoit's a tax on organizational size and well spent taxes aren't a bad thing, in fact, they're a great thing
- brennebeck 10y agoExactly. Essentially, it's an investment into the future of the company and will increase the chances of maintaining your culture and productivity.
