O.M. Madness

What does Organisational Management madness look like, you’re wondering. A frenzy of organising and managing, maybe. Or maybe the opposite: a war against organising and managing. Either way, I’m sure it doesn’t measure up to philosophical madness, which must be entirely superior.


Maybe I’m only mad relative to Organisational Management, which means not particular mad. Which means not especially mad at all. Like when very conventional people say, I’m a bit mad, me. Will you teach me to become philosophically mad? Will you? Or am I incapable of that?


I wonder if I’ll go madder? I wonder whether you’ll bring out the madness in me? Or at least license it.


Or did I only say I was mad to intrigue you? Did I say it because I thought it might draw you in? Did I want to be fascinating? Did I want to fascinate the philosopher?

Imagine that: that I would want to fascinate you. Just for a dose of philosophical cool. You see how we’re secretly in awe of philosophy in Organisational Management? Do you see what your reputation is? How insecure we are in Organisational Management? How lacking in confidence we are, really?
