I have actually started to hate this tone. Managers wants workers to keep updating with the latest and greatest while they still keep applying the industrial age management skills.

why management does not have to evolve and yet reap the best of the benefits of any new wave?

This is not a rant. I am seriously trying to find this answer for better part of this year.

There is an old adage about excrement and elevation that applies here but I will instead answer your question in the form of an entry from the OSHA compiled list of workplace related deaths...

FY 2010,10/02/09,09/25/09,"Tyson Foods - River Valley Animal Foods, Scranton, AR 72863","Decedent was dumping a load of offal from a tractor trailer. He was in the process of dumping offal into a bin when the tailgate malfunctioned. Decedent was freeing the tailgate, it released, and the load swept the decedent into the offal bin. Decedent drowned in the bin."

I'm an esecutive in an entirely distinct context, industry, and culture (family-owned firm, chemical manufacture, Italy respectively), but I have often tried to articulate views much as that you expounded so effectively. I'll be quoting you and perhaps nonchalantly taking your words for my own (albeit rendered into the floral local tongue). Is that OK with you?
