Why do we need management, what exactly are they helping with other than build empires, play favorites, demoralize good smart employees
So where is the real value add from the management?
Also employees are grown adults they don’t need to be supervised, just set goals and focal should be based clear performance metrics. Employees will do much better without toxic managers
: @1ugk+1jNTkvvr - Employees join a company because they believe in the mission and vision of a company. They know the skills they bring to the table to make that mission and vision possible. You don’t need a bunch of management minions to tell you what to do, often times conflicting themselves .
Bob Noyce, Gordon Moore, Andy Grove were all United by the vision they shared and not by some manager minion that kept t/yelling at them what to do in the name of giving direction and accountability
The point is great ideas come about with autonomy and empowerment of the groups. not by minions giving directions
Re: There are many companies using halocracy.
Many? Which companies? About the same size with Intel. Hm, maybe let's discount, 20% of Intel size (20k employees)? That is a listed company, with at least USD10 billion revenue, that employee span across at least 10 countries?
Just list down 3 companies that match the criteria, I know there are many.
@2miz+1jNTkvvr - Bullocks you are re--rded.
People perform their best when there is no one to micromanage you.
There are many companies using halocracy.
Some of the best ideas and subsequent companies are brought about by self organized groups with full autonomy without managers .
Intel itself was born that way
Management should enforce accountability.
Management sets directions and goals.
OP is a child.
It’s one thing to say management isn’t doing a good job. It’s another to say we should remove all management. That would be chaos.
The original post is has the thought process of a simpleton. Management provides direction for the employees. The employee is expected to take the direction and execute it. The level of oversight is based on the employees skill level. Anyone that thinks management isn’t necessary should be fired immediately. Now does Intel have a strong management team is a completely different question and in general based on my experience working at Intel I would say “no” compared to other semiconductor companies.
harumph
totally agree, with okr's in place there is no need for managers who do not contribute technically. managers should be asked to draw circuits or explain architecture or write code or debug depending on their team's role and if they are found technically incapable of leading by example, they should be booted out. there is no place for the so called people's managers in tech companies. not only do they not know how to perform the team's job, but they think they are qualified to sit and judge. they are the reason some of Intel's top minds have migrated to competitors.
