The Manipulative Management

Another day.

Another e-mail.

Another nincompoop.

The same kind of crap and junk though.

Some companies believe in manipulation as the primary and the only tool of management.

They fail to realize that their manipulation is a direct and big give away though they would pretend it to be otherwise and think of their "cheap manipulation tactics" as a strategic act.

Act it is, but a completely silly one, and not strategic at all.

Other than these nincompoops who can see clearly but are in a denial mode, all others can see across and through their manipulation, just like one can clearly see across and through a piece of glass.

In the times of crisis and unprecedented situations, the real face of the leadership vacuum rears its ugly but true head.

You get to see who is in the coterie and who is not.

In the name of top management, many nonsensical things are taken up and taken ahead.

The nincompoops send mails one by one.

There is zero transparency and no prior information that is shared with anyone else outside the coterie before the chosen nincompoop sends the email.

The coterie is a like a secretive club of the insiders who all think highly of themselves though they are as lowly as anyone can ever be.

The crisis is used to make the nincompoops show their worth and importance.

It unfortunately ends up showing the other and opposite picture.

The flaws in the reporting structure also come out very clearly.

The communications provide detail of how great each of the nincompoop is.

And not only that but also how competent, efficient and energetic each one of them is.

It looks like, they are the ones who make not only the company but the entire country run.

The messaging is not only totally crass and silly but it smells badly of the high command structure which is firmly in place where the circus ringmaster is in full control of the clowns.

There is a dangerous pattern to all of it.

No is one is actually looking for the unwanted messages but they are sent nevertheless.

In such a company, the top man is the nincompoop number 1.

There are some more nincompoops who are actually like dogs wagging their wicked tails very swiftly in front of the nincompoop number 1.

Some times, some one else outside of the old boys club can be asked to do some silly stuff including writing a e-mail to promote the agenda of the top man.

The forced nincompoop has no choice to be a nincompoop.

Since no one questions the nincompoop number 1.

The permanent nincompoops are there because of only one thing - blind loyalty to the nincompoop number 1.

So if you are told be a temporary nincompoop you will have to do the same silly stuff that you would otherwise detest.

Be careful about that.

Keep an eye on what can happen.

The chance to be a forced nincompoop is very much there.

Be ready to get a taste of manipulative management.

And best of luck so that you get some positive motivation to survive the nonsensical things.

Stay alert.

Stay prepared.

And stay afloat.
