Organizational Rethink
Most organizations today start out great as startups with less people. But, as they grow the process of hiring dilutes the quality of work. Invariably, one would assume that this is down to a collective people. But, mostly the result of bad management that organically grows within the company to cycle through more politics, bad restructuring, self-preservation, favoritism, egotistic idealism, and a toxic environment. The managers in most organizations are the weakest link that gobble up large sums of compensation packages with very little to show for it in terms of quantifiable work. And, then when organizations are struggling, rather than streamline and reduce their management staff, they cut jobs in the sub-ordinate line and ultimately reduce the quality of valuable skills in the organizational workforce. As a result, with every passing year the organization as a whole deteriorates in performance until eventually it either gets acquired or reaches the point of demise. And, it is really the managers to blame for it all. One solution for this is to replace managers with AI. Another solution could be to reverse the line of accountability - make managers accountable to staff. After all the individual and collective performance is really about bad management. We must ask ourselves, what really is the role of the manager if not to manage anything at all?
