In Management, Keep it Simple (from BNET)

Good BNET article by Steve Tobak

"Some people have a knack for making things more complicated than they need to be."

"In 9 Notable Management Trends (or Fads), you’ll notice that simple concepts - such as core competency - have been successful over the long haul, while complex ones - like matrix management (which Yang employed at Yahoo, incidentally) - haven’t stood the test of time."

Ah yessss... the old "value adders" versus "energy suckers" problem!

In a complicated company, working for a complicated boss... new career... a resume form to get ready to move on :-)
