Managment: It's Not What You look Like But What You Do


"Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works."

Steve Jobs


And not just for products.

I've seen many organizational structures that seemed logical, capable, which failed functionally.

Define your organization but don't fall in love with the structure. If it's not working, change it.

  1. It is incredibly difficult for a manager to admit the management structure he/she came up with, is wrong. Deciding which people need to be in which jobs, doing which work, is the essence of management and if you have to admit you did that wrong, how good of a manager are you?

  2. How good would you be if you couldn't/wouldn't admit your mistakes?
