mushroom management

1. Mushroom Management

Restrict employee access to information and decisions (keep them in the dark).
When information is conveyed, it is incomplete, inaccurate, or full of marketing hyperbole (throw shit on them).
Large, hierarchical, process-bound organizations are frequently guilty of the most egregious forms of "mushroom management."
