The Counterrevolution: Why Traditional Management Still Matters
In an era obsessed with flat hierarchies and self-management, "Why Managers Matter" delivers a compelling wake-up call. While tech companies proudly tout their "bossless" structures and management gurus predict the death of hierarchy, reality tells a different story. Even Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella acknowledges the book's "clear-eyed assessment of management's essential role." But why this disconnect between trendy management theory and organizational reality? The truth is that while autonomy and decentralization have their place, the fundamental need for coordination and authority hasn't disappeared. In fact, as work becomes more complex and interdependent, effective management becomes more crucial, not less. This counterintuitive insight challenges everything we think we know about modern organizations - and might just save your company from a costly experiment in organizational chaos.
