management is rubbish

Not the people of course.

But let me suggest in all humility that the function, the act of managing an organisation is a complete waste of time and counter productive:

• To manage is to direct and control.
• To manage is detrimental to leadership.
• Organisational process structure requires management. It is the main pillar of that kind of process structure. This is the main raison d'être for management.
  

Why wait, do this:

1. Find an alternative and efficient organisational process structure (physical, flexible process based IT systems*, whatever). Implement. 
   This is the crux - focus on finding a good alternative instead of defending status quo. When found, the need to defend management will vanish.
2. Dump 'direct and control', let 1. above take care of that. Burn the organisational chart.
3. Let leadership bloom.
4. See organisational flexibility, energy and creativity thrive.

Beat your competition hands down. Live happily ever after.
