This is the title Gary Hamel used is this HBR article. He says that there are four reasons why
management as we know it needs to dramatically change.
One is that with greater levels of management, the greater
the risk of bad judgment.
"In the case of G.M., the crucial insight was that a
faulty ignition switch could cause vehicles to lose power and deactivate the
air bags. The link between the ignition and the air bags was not a secret; it
was an intentional goal of the design, to protect people in parked cars from
being injured by air bags that were deployed mistakenly. " NY Times June 8, 2014
“Senior decision makers are basically isolated from safety
information,” If companies did not have a culture in which individuals took
responsibility for problems and alerted superiors to them, then big failures
would follow.
Virtually all of my clients exhibit Hamel's four reasons why we need to relook at the role of managers.
