Organisational Management meetings Superefficient. Super organised. Over and done with in forty-five minutes. You get whiplash, pretty much.
Why should we be surprised? After all, business is Organisational Management’s business. They’re experts on business. They know what they’re doing. It’s business as it should be, in Organisational Management. Business as usual, with no monkey business. No pauses. No lulls. No reeling at the latest university nihilism. At the latest stupidity from on high.
It’s all good attitude. Without laments. Without wailings. No bonding over horror at crazy central admin decisions. They almost surf on waves of admin, Organisational Managers. They almost pride themselves on the vastly complex matters they can deal with. That they can see off. They’re like matadors of business. It’s even done with a flurry. It’s done with panache. Organisational Managers all but cry ole!
They’re showing off in front of one another. No, that’s ungenerous: they’re showcasing their skills, their virtuosity. Sharing them. Revelling together im what they can do.
Because this is who they are! This is what they’re made for. Organisational Management at its best, doing what it does best! Rushing through the agenda. Item after item. Swiftly! With certainty! With eagle-eyes! They’ve read the documents. Nothing escapes them. They’ve prepared in advance. It’s a matter of pride.
They don’t stumble. They soar. This is their sky. This is their soaring. Wings outstretched. What a marvel. The beauty of Organisational Managers in full flight.
It’s sublime, in its way. There’s a beauty to it. Some nature programme should be filming this. David Attenborough should provide a voiceover. This is the magnificence to Organisational Management. This is what it does, Organisational Management. This is what it’s for, Organisational Management.
Look how they work together, the Organisational Managers. As a team! As a pack! Look at how they coordinate. True teamwork! It’s seamless. Everyone knows their cue. Everyone knows when to speak and to be silent.
The art of the meeting. No: it should be the science of the meeting. The technology of the meeting. Like a stealth fighter in full flight. Like a guided jet, staying under radar, tracking the contours. Like some low-orbit direct energy weapon, zapping down from the clouds.
