All true but the hidden agenda may well be to maintain and enlarge the execs / sales managers / supervisor’s  means to get another job in the industry.  After all if they are not “experienced”  “familiar “  with the alphabet soup of the day their days of promotion to another or better or escape hatch job – while the going is not too bad – are somewhat limited.   “Are you experienced with  gobbledygook number x 2009 …..No then come back and see us when you are.”   Guess which exec or employee pushes for that new computer program / management tool /  monitoring program ?

The most amazing part is that once in place , after all the preparation and high priced staff in place to lecture willing or captive employees on the merits of the program , that upper management , supervisors and bosses are totally inept at any simple comprehension of  the basis of the whole program and its concepts.

For example on the plane , with plenty of scotch , they may glance over an add in a magazine ( which they borrow off the plane , after all they paid a business class fare) , which states that the “phone is the most underutilized tool of most employees – let your fingers do the walking…” .  One may well ask what about the internet and the mouse in this day and age of the year of 2009.   At meetings , in interviews and on meetings in the field ( as an observer only there to help) , the exec/  supervisor boss may well spout this phrase incessantly .  However at the same time he may well admonish staff for using the phone too much.

Its not a case simply of trying to cause trouble and prove whose boss , of incompetence or even stupidity.  People go back to what they “grew up under “  and what they know.  Alcoholics or children of alcoholics and dysfunctional homes often go right back to the same behavior they knew and grew up under .   Why – they know it works , its rock solid and after all it feels “best”.

In the same way and manner most managers no what the program is , or what the new flavor is – which has been bought or cost a fair amount of money of resources to purchase and implement will always go back to “more of the same “.   Count on it.  Its a truism of life.  Get with the program.

Fire Your mean and incompetent boss
