Failure Management

Failure management encompasses a comprehensive set of practices aimed at addressing and mitigating issues or faults in systems, products, or processes. It begins with the detection of failures, whether through sensors, monitoring systems, or human observation, followed by a diagnostic phase to understand the underlying causes. Once identified, strategies are deployed to reduce the impact of the failure, which can involve immediate fixes or the implementation of redundancy measures. Furthermore, failure management emphasizes learning from failures to prevent their recurrence through improvements in design, processes, or training. Proper documentation and risk assessment play vital roles in this process, ensuring that organizations can effectively respond to and learn from failures to enhance reliability and safety.
Failure management involves the systematic identification and diagnosis of faults or issues in systems.

It is followed by the implementation of effective mitigation strategies to minimize their impact.

Proper documentation and risk assessment are integral components of failure management, aiding in the development of strategies to prevent future failures and maintain the integrity of systems and processes.

Copper wire management

Management style focusing solely on relaying information and instruction from the ownership level to the staff level and vice versa. A Copper wire is simply a conductor which transfers energy from one end to the other, it does not generate a spark on its own. As such appropriately named, this management style does not initiate any process, legitimate or perceived, it takes no responsibility for outcomes by routinely holding the other end of the copper wire responsible when one end has raised any issue.
I just got a crap load of work piled on me by my manager and I complained to him.... but all he said was don't blame me I only relay information from the top.

He's pulling some major copper wire management tactics on you!!!

I am the manager

What you say to customers, who have nothing better to do than complain and blame you for their life problems, when they believe that you are the bane of their existence ( usually via coupons expiring, websites being faulty or the weather being dangerous), but it is your job to not only deal with said problems, but also show that you know exactly what you are doing. All while not telling them that they are idiots and/or that they need to learn common sense or manners.
Customer: why won't you deliver to me?
Me: there's ice on the roads, a major accident, Nuclear fallout and you're out of our area

Management

Telling employees that they really are not understaffed by using "numbers" when we all know that numbers can tell whatever story you wish to tell, truth and fallacy. Directing you to the REAL definition of "Management" which Merriam Webster does not agree.
Management: We crunched the numbers and you really don't need that many staff--how can you disagree with the numbers? Just because we had 6 people before, had added .5, and now have just doesn't mean you need that many!
