Get the Project Manager mug.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).

People that are managering also tend to waste more time getting other people to do work than just doing it themselves.
While the term usually applies to actual managers of jobs (hence the name), it can apply to anyone outside the workplace.

Example 1
Employee: You called me over here sir?
Manager: I need you to clean up this spill
Employee: But you are already holding a mop and paper towels. You could have done this yourself much quicker than the time it took me to respond to you. Instead of managering why don't you do some work yourself because I don't see why the company needs someone like you.
Example 2
Mom: Go vacuum the floors they have been filthy all day. It's like you don't ever help around the house.
Child: Mom, I just got home from school, why could you not do it?
Mom: Unlike you I am busy almost all day doing chores and working 8 hour shifts.
Child: Mom, you have been on this couch watching Sex and the City since I left for school and you are still watching it.
Mom: ...
Child: Instead of managering could you help out while I'm busy?

Get the under new management mug.Identity-Facet Management (IFM) is a systems-level framework for the intentional design, organization, and governance of multiple facets (contextual, functional, or role-specific expressions) of a single, continuous identity within a unified control structure.
In IFM, identity is treated as a stable core entity that manifests through distinct, purpose-bound facets, each with defined capabilities, constraints, permissions, and operational scope. Facets may operate concurrently or asynchronously but remain coordinated through shared authority, traceability, and continuity of identity. They do not constitute independent identities and do not possess autonomous ownership of memory, agency, or selfhood outside the governing system.
IFM emphasizes intentional partitioning rather than involuntary fragmentation, prioritizing explicit control, auditability, reversibility, and synchronization between facets and the core identity. Implementations include mechanisms for facet creation, activation, suspension, revocation, and reintegration, as well as policies governing information flow and decision authority.
The framework is domain-independent and applicable to engineered systems (e.g., AI agents, distributed cognition architectures, digital twins, access-controlled personas), organizational role design, and human–machine hybrid systems. IFM does not describe psychological dissociation or clinical phenomena and assumes preserved continuity of self across all facets.
