Being able to call out people to take their stuff out of the meeting is extremely important.
Needless to say when I just recently did that with the two program managers in a fortune 500 I got punished.
It leaves you wondering why these big corps have program and project managers when they:
- consistently don't have an agenda
- completely ignore scope
- don't even try to define scope
- keep talking about being productive
- keep getting promoted for creating powerbi dashboards of other people's work
- ljm 5y agoI double checked my post and I never said 'called out'. I don't know how you went about it in this case but, I've never called out. All I've ever said is, hey...do we need to do this now?
- PKop 5y agoDoubt OP meant anything different than: "interrupting and telling people to take something async"
- wpietri 5y agoI'd suggest you read about managerialism, our reigning business paradigm. Spender and Locke's "Confronting Managerialism" really opened my eyes. If you think of management's purpose as making the business better, there's a lot that doesn't make sense. But it gets clearer if you think of it as caste dedicated to both individual and class power and enrichment, who also try to keep the business on the rails enough that there's something to have power over and extract money from. Not that all managers are bad or anything; plenty of them are people just trying to get things done. It's a structural problem.
