After a few years of this, the entire executive ranks, top to bottom, are occupied by empty shells with management titles. MBA schools preach that you do not need to have been "on the street" to manage a company, any company. Consequently, thousands of companies are lead by men and women who have never worked in manufacturing, retail etc. This management fallacy is a major contributor to our nationwide employee malaise and stress.

Indy: My corporation hired freshly graduated MBA/PHD to our HR Department. I was a HR guy in field operations. The company concluded that these guys needed help so they would parachute me in to Home Office to spent three weeks stents on various projects sharing with them the realities of the real world. These guys were brilliant but did not understand the affect their policies would have on operations...pretty much like the affect that government regulations have on businesses.
