8. Not all managers are inappropriately focused on fixing things…

   Manager: Can you organise another meeting of working group A, to focus on something that a working group B is responsible for, and interview two more candidates for the role of assistant manager, and make a decision on the organisation of the team, locate a new meeting room and time, combine the agendas, and fend off any questions about whether reorganising the team is a good idea.

   Secretary: Actually, I’m a software engineer - are you sure you’re making the best use of my skills here? I’ve been trying to find time to fix our build system, and all those activities will just delay it.

   Manager: It’s broken? Never mind that, we have to raise our profile in the company, increase awareness of what we’ve accomplished, and proselytise our own agenda. While we’re at it, have you re-written my process document to conform to the “lightweight” template, but making sure that there are no actual changes?
