My read on the section on management has always been that here we moved from theoreticial means of sabotage (cross electrical wires in cable, then plug it into multiple outlets around your apartment to blow as many fuses in the building as possible so that your neighbors can't listen to a propaganda broadcasts) to something that the writers had had deep personal experience with in previous jobs. The OSS was defined by their being outside the old stuffy system, and I'm sure this was a dig at the bureaucracy they were trying to escape from. In the OSS way of making things happen, they didn't want speeches or buck passing.
