There is a chap who was a family friend...known me since I was born...you know the type...Uncle xyz...spent his entire working life running businesses and teaching management....deeply religous man who sang in the church choir...tenor or baritone or some such...his voice moved people to tears,..retired now and suffered from throat cancer presumably from 40 years smoking a pipe.

A few years ago we sat discussing modern management practices with specific reference to what I had experienced in aviation.

I had NEVER seen this man angry let alone swear...I certainly did that night...even the dreaded F word

In his most passionate view modern management do just about everything they are taught NOT to do in reputable MBA courses....that from a man who spent over 40 years at his craft.
