effective manager

An antipode of a good specialist.

Usually Effective Manager is high placed guy in business who knows EBITDA, ROMI, BPMN 2.0, OLAP and many other scary words. But in general the only thing this guy want - to get salary by simulating "growing effectiveness of the business" as long as possible.

Effective manager usually miss company's values.

1. Hey. Month ago we got a new effective manager. Now we lost 45% of employees, 20% of our audience and got a lot of negative reputation in social media.
2. Effective manager: "Our goal is effective working on tasks and constant increase of effectiveness".

mushroom management

A way to manage tech teams working to an ill-defined task, described by Tracy Kidder as "Keep them in the dark, feed them shit, watch them grow" (in his 1981 title 'The Soul of a New Machine' about the people that built the first minicomputer at Data General).

As long as the outcome remains undefined, there's no way to hold them accountable for whichever result. You'd better apply mushroom management instead.

property manager

The minion to a landlord. Usually an antagonistic go-between placed between the landlord and the people who actually live on site. There are more and more property managers now than there used to now that housing is being gobbled up by private equity (see Blackrock), and that means the absentee landlords are spread pretty thin, so they need to hire a small army of property managers to surveil and dictate the goings-on in each of their rental properties.

"This property manager sucks, she won't return our calls except to yell at us about having guests over."
