My Management Philosophy

I currently have a boss who enjoys 2-3 hour meetings on the subject of his management philosophy. So, apparently this is a fascinating subject.

My management philosophy is that management is a bull shit profession designed to give white men something to do that they can get paid a lot of money for. Too bad I can't make a book out it. I could have chapters like: How to be white. How to be a man. How to act entitled. How to act busy. How to call a meeting to discuss your management philosophy. How to get paid 3 times as much as your subordinates who are doing all the work.

Your comments on management are well taken. I have been a de-facto manager, under the titular manager many times. True management requires intelligence *and* flexibility. Thus the much vaunted Prussian military machine lost WWII for want of flexibility.
