That’s not the only way but “come
in and change things to establish dominance” is a commonly taught business school chant.
Management are contemporary clergy, spewing high minded ephemera, only to go home unable to point at anything net new left behind by their effort.
I grew up in farm land; we had no middle managers. Somehow food still got grown, harvested, and sold; somehow a Linux kernel and other wildly popular open source exists without them.
Post-WW industrialism needs to wind down. Militant minded people came home and forced their PTSD on workers. We spend a lot of resources equipping people to output nothing in deference to traditional economic memes. America of recent decades necessarily built itself into a production powerhouse to resupply a destroyed world. Such memes are outdated given automation and unsustainable given real material costs.
