The authority model in management doesn't work in tech

Many corporations have chosen the easy way out, which is the authority model. But what we found is that when you're managing engineers, it doesn't work in tech, the authority model doesn't work in tech because you're not managing people who are doing manual labor, are pointing a gun or whatever. You're managing people who are creatives, they are creators. They are creative types. Programmers are like novelists, you know, or artists, and there's a lot of creativity involved in tech. And you don't manage a bunch of novelists by lining them up and barking orders at them or enforcing your world view on them, because that's going to squelch their creativity. Creativity is a bottom up process. You need democracy functioning because there's no right answer. It's not objective. It's egalitarian, it's a meritocracy. The best idea wins and that's really difficult for a lot of old world managers to swallow.

Do citizens of #European Union countries know their supranationale #government is #funding private companies in #Jordan to develop "#green" and "#renewable" #energy #infrastructure whilst the average youth #unemployment rate across all #EU nations is 15%, and even higher in some EU nations?

Look up "Catalyst MENA Clean Energy Fund" and see what EU citizen's #taxes are being used for. Did EU citizens #vote for this? Do EU nations not have problems of their own that require funding to solve? On whose #authority is this #wealth transfer taking place?

#Climate #Change: #Journalism’s Greatest #Challenge

source: https://wblau.medium.com/climate-change-journalisms-greatest-challenge-2bb59bfb38b8

One climate journalist said to me: “I have the full support from my chief editor. I have even been given a budget increase. My #problem is now the foreign editor who doesn’t give me access to our foreign bureaus when I need them because my stories — supposedly are never as urgent as other breaking news stories — and my other and bigger problem are the news desk editors who don’t give my story a prime time slot or never quite promote it on social #media at the right time of day because they think it won’t perform well”.

...

In the most extreme of this behaviour, news organisations need to ask themselves whether this doesn’t amount to a form of editorial #greenwashing itself: To produce climate journalism so you can say you are doing it and so you can point to the URL’s of each published story while never really throwing the full #authority and distribution power of your news organisation’s brand behind it.

...

Given the foreseeable vehement conflicts over climate #policy in many countries, newsroom managers would do their staff and their journalism a favour if they now reviewed or updated their editorial codes of conduct to make sure there is at least a shared understanding in their #newsroom, a shared language on what they think the typical indicators of editorial activism are and — more importantly — of what clearly isn’t #activism in covering the accelerating climate #crisis.

...

At Agence France #Press, one of the world’s largest news agencies, their Global Chief Editor Sophie Huet is in the process of making sure that their bureaus around the #world include possible climate aspects in every story as naturally as they would already include possible financial angles of a #story.

"Concepts that have proven useful in ordering things easily achieve such authority over us that we forget their earthly origins and accept them as unalterable givens… Therefore it is by no means an idle game if we become practiced in analysing long-held commonplace concepts and showing the circumstances on which their justification and usefulness depend, and how they have grown up, individually, out of the givens of experience. Thus their excessive authority will be broken."

It’s Happening Now But People Don’t See It ~ Roger Waters on Challenging Authority

~ Happy Birthday, Roger ~ September 6,1943

A #revolutionary and #powerful #speech from #musician and #PinkFloyd band member #RogerWaters on challenging #authority and #societal #change. This is not a drill. "We are all #brothers and #sisters under the skin and above it . . . it's super important that we #stop #lobbing #bombs over the top of the #wall and start trying to dismantle it, so that we can say 'hi' to whoever is on the other side, whether the #divide is #religious or #nationalistic or #political or #economic." ~ #Roger #Waters #humanrights #humanity

#Israel refuses to work with #ICC on #war crimes probe, says 'no #authority

source: https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210408-israel-refuses-to-work-with-icc-on-war-crimes-probe-says-no-authority

Ahead of the deadline, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu's office issued a #statement saying the #government had agreed “to not cooperate” with the ICC.

War crimes, of course, can only be committed by terrorists and our enemies. Learning from the U.A. means learning how to legalize #injustice for oneself. There are more than enough examples for it!

The difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist is that the terrorist does not receive an official arms shipment from the #CIA.


An important democratic principle is that everyone is equal before the #law. By everyone, we really mean everyone, not just the citizens of one country. So if we condemn African or Bosnian war criminals but exempt our own soldiers from #punishment, we can forget about our Western morals.
