Further to my post on middle management doing little except exist in paralysis to maintain the status quo, which at best means not going down, career-wise, maybe it's simply how it is at every level: Miliband is charming, clever and ill-informed.
I'd take issue with one thing, and that's the headline. He may be charming, but he's not ill-informed. Just clever enough to know that having a clear view is not what gets you ahead personally. Process, not product. And the media are complicit in this destructive game.
And here I am about to post a letter to him asking him let me know what he can do about something.
I don't know how you can stand for office when you are unable to take a stand on anything.
My note:
Dear Mr. Carr,
Clever enough to be well informed yet opt not to say anything helpful
On a day when we have a report on middle management in paralysis and costing this country dear, I now have clear evidence it extends far further.
I'd thank you, but this is the man to whom I am writing to at least ask for the answers to some questions, and maybe even the chance of coherent, high-ROI action.
God help my kids' futures. They can't live on charm alone.
