On the shop floor (and in the cubicle farms), they call "transformational change managers" "hatchet men". They bring them in to clear out the dead wood.
As Bobby Zimmerman used to sing..."how does it feeeeeeel...".
Yeah, I couldn't help but notice that either. It's touchy-feely New Age capitalism.
Don't they teach that in the finest business schools? Along with "real estate investment counseling". I actually met one of those, at Printer's Ink in Palo Alto, of all places. I dropped the R.E.I.C. line on her just to make a joke, and she suddenly got very snarly. She actually was one, and didn't think I was being very funny at all.
I wish I had saved the reference, but I swear I once read that the decline of the Japanese economy began shortly after they started offering MBAs at their universities.
