Forefaran effect

The phenomenon that something which was previously working correctly, suddenly does not work correctly when one tries to demonstrate the operation to others.

"The inventor Zuse was occasionally helped by this good fortune when, contrary to expectations, devices ran without any errors during important demonstrations, and he freely admits that this "inverse forefaran effect" has often helped him." (Der Computer — Mein Lebenswerk, by Springer-Verlag)

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".
