This article is absolutely brilliant!!

having gone through several shakes up or been part of creating them as a consultant, this paints a more true picture than anyone who has not gone through a re-org themselves could ever write about.

I would like to add your post as a ‘guest poster’ to my blog - can you give your permission to do so?

Please feel free to reach out to me directly.

There's a lot of performance in management - esp. as you go up the chain of command. It's mostly about presentation. The dramatics are not amateur but they are tedious.
