domenech effect
The situation where a group or organisation succeeds despite, rather than because of management. A group of experienced and motivated employees overcome the handicap of having an incompetent boob running the show. The employees get together and work out how to sort shit out without, or sometimes against, directions from said incompetent management. Named after the hapless manager of the French national team at the world cup in 2006.

Stevie: Nah, we have a full domenech effect running, the boss just sits in his office playing with his executive toys!
