Ouija-board management

A style of management whereby the project as a whole is slowly moving in one direction or another, but when asked who is in charge (and by extension who is to blame for the slow progress) all hands come off the board, all progress stops and no one individual is to blame.
When asked how the new project was going Joe replied "With the Ouija-board management going on I am surprised we have accomplished this much"

Stage Manager

The person that is below the director in terms of superiority. Generally one of the people with a headset. He/she will be at rehearsals to run them if the director is busy. He/she is generally a nice person unless you piss them off. They are the ones responsible for calling cues during a show, pulling the curtain, sometimes moving set pieces. Without him/her and the rest of the stage crew there wouldn't be a show.
Where did the stage manager go? We need someone to run rehearsal..

Business Relationship Manager

The Epitome of the Idle, Cock Sure Useless Manager's within the IT Industry. Abilties include a total lack of knowledge of the architecture they are supporting, sitting comfortably with a high degree of arrogance and total lack of respect for the people actually doing the required work. Recognizable by the total lack of any pro-active abilties, often identifiable by the fact they only appear when an issue occurs for the customer they look after, and thereafter show the "Follow the Ball" syndrome until some poor bastard end up with the thankless task of sorting out the problem. They will then set up camp behind said person, haranguing the person with inane stupid questions until
a) Problem is resolved
b) Resolver cannot take anymore and guns down entire office with a AK 47 .
Sometimes know under the guise of Partner Services Manager or Service Delivery Manager
"Hey Jack, theres a High Priority Case Just been raised"

"Shit, Head's Down, there's a BRM turned up and he looks like he's up for a ball chasing session"

manage-a-trois

A 'French' term typically defining a sexual liason between three persons, involving three people engaged in sexual intimacy or sexual congress. Three people having sexual relations with one another either randomly, such as on a one-time occassion, or regularly as long-term lovers. Three people having sex together, typically at the same time in the same bed.
A favorite fantasy of men- that of being in bed with two women instead of just one- but women also imagine bedding for sexual purposes with two men. Such is also known well enough between three lesbian women, or between three homosexual men. As long as three people are intimately/sexually involved, it is a 'manage-a-trois'.

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."
