Bruce Sterling @bruces<p>Once annexed by Canada, the slightly-distressed 50 states will be combined into one large province, to be re-named “South Manitoba”.

Glyph<p>Good executives describe their expectations in terms of outcomes. They let their staff—who inherently ought to have a better understanding of the mechanics of the processes they are responsible for—determine the appropriate methods to get things done. Leaders getting too involved in details are (correctly) derided as "micromanagers".</p><p>When you see an executive mandating a tool or process *over the objections* of their staff, that's a sign of managerial incompetence.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@barubary/114298367285112648" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">infosec.exchange/@barubary/114</span><span class="invisible">298367285112648</span></a></p>
