So, my dad is an organisational psychologist. Now retired but his career has included being the Chief of Staff at an org that employed around 1.5% of working Icelandic population at the time and decades of management consulting work…
Every time I explain to him how software cos and teams are managed he gets this look of disbelief on his face like I’ve just told him that gray aliens have landed in a flying saucer outside the Blue Lagoon and have set up a hot dog stand 😅
@craigbro One of his specialities as a consultants was teaching managers how to hold constructive meetings so describing any of the tech industry’s standard meeting practices is usually good for a few horrified exclamations
@baldur There is a quote by G. K. Chesterton that "the Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried."
I've occasionally pointed out that this mirrors the IT industry's approach to management.
