Listen "Episode 92 - Management seems to be the science of approximations"
Episode Synopsis
What do I mean ?
In management, we tend to “replace” actual ideas with approximations too easily and too quickly
High level statements about goals, visions, attitudes
Numbers about everything (dashboards, …)
Why do we do this ?
Simplicity: it becomes measurable and spreadable
Assume that the approximation will do the job
Does it work
Ideas do something different than approximations
Alternative
Focus on ideas, specific ideas and how to improve them
Using transparenc, autonomy and cooperation as drivers in that process
