    There is some logic to that argument but it rarely applies to the top management. In my field, ten thousand engineers will make some cars but ten thousand managers will make zero cars. It’s something I regularly remind them of.

    We’ve been told there is something special about our management since the dawn of time. It used to be warlords, barons, kings and queens. We were told they were backed by divine authority. Meanwhile, people like Shakespeare were creating the real stuff of value and we don’t know what he even looked like.
