The Myth of the Management Myth
On a plane yesterday I read a truly awful new article in The Atlantic. Called "The Management Myth", it is nominally about how management theory is a waste, MBAs are dangerous, philosophy rules, and consultants are nasties.

I’m in the Houston airport…
…wondering how my confirmed ticket to Dallas was cancelled, leaving me stranded for three hours with nothing to do other than what I usually do when I find myself in this unfortunate situation with absolutely no control over getting what I really want, which is to be on the plane I was originally booked on, filling the three hours with stuff I should have done in the time I had personally allotted for it, but didn’t do.

I'd be a lousy pilot

Who Are You Talking To?
Twenty minutes after we boarded the plane, the pilot came on to tell us that there was a maintenance issue with the aircraft and we would be slightly delayed taking off. The red-eye from San Francisco to Charlotte ended up being over an hour late leaving the airport, meaning many passengers, including me, were going to miss their connection flights. As I had no particular place to be the next day, I settled in to for a nap.

The absent admin
Creating a Facebook fan page is an excellent way to market your company or organization; leaving it unattended is asking for trouble.
