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.

We all need to adopt the same approach to documentation in our businesses and below explain why.

Can I Safely Use a Laptop on a Plane or Shlould I Leave it at Home
