Scrooge was more rational than today's paranoid "but how will my boss know I'm essential if I'm not surrounded by my subordinates?" middle management.

If Cratchit could have worked from home, Scrooge would have loved it - no need to heat his part of the office.

We should train AI to replace middle managers.

Someone please get on this.

Asking my followers to please intervene and restrain me—by force, if necessary—when the next request for administrative service arrives in my inbox. You will hear me say something like, “But what about the opportunity to do something positive here?” Ignore these lunatic ravings and proceed w agreed upon plan of action. #Academia #MiddleManagement

I've drawn the picture below as a reaction to the current inclination of prominent #ChangeManagement the(r)orists frowning at "military" style #CommandAndControl or #C2 organizational methods while promoting #FlatOrganizations without #MiddleManagement and with no need for #Planning (everything will change anyway), as a far better, more #Agile way of dealing with #Complexity.

This may be true if the organization is operating and struggling to survive on the left side of this "complexity plane", but if it wants to mature and "get somewhere in life" it better starts aiming for the other side by collecting, documenting and using "lessons learned", planning for and working towards wherever it wants to be in the future.
