I think Peter Ward-Hunts obituary says it all.
We old timers are considered to be unresponsive and unreceptive to the present day fads and fashions of present day "management".
We had people as managers who had flown Hurricanes and Spitfires, Lancasters and Mosquitos and even though they had many faults and "issues" by and large we did respect them.
Present day "managers" do not have our respect because they have not earned it and an MBA in Business Management does not confer respect.
Treating employees with courtesy and consideration confers respect,
It really is that simple.
