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 can’t go out with Jim, he’s always searching for copper wire coils. It’s gross, but admittedly funny that he thinks nobody sees him do it.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
