This feels like a blunt instrument to solve management failures.

  Any time military language gets used like seen in this blog (eg. “War room”), it’s usually alongside management failure to be addressed by crunch of some sort.

    > Any time military language gets used And some military terms are never used. Reserve: the idle resource you have that you can deploy to stop a breach or to profit from an opportunity. Nope, we're using Human Resources like people used to use machines in the 80s: you have to get them working 100% of the time. And when there's an emergency? Code Yellow. When there's an unforeseen opportunity opening up? Well, too bad so sad your competitor got it.

  That seems about right. That's actually helpful. When you have a management failure, trying to solving it by "getting better at management" isn't really a solution.
