Management By Gimmick #3
By Ron | November 9, 2009
This gimmick may not be a biggee, but I’ve seen it used many times. C’mon, you’ve heard it too…
“We run this operation by food.” When the boss says this, everyone laughs because they know that it is true at some level.
There are managers who supply an endless parade of food… donuts, bagels, pizza, etc. as a motivator to get projects done. I’m not totally against the idea if it is a rare occurence – I just don’t like it as a substitute for good management.
