Management, like payroll and sales, is becoming another function to facilitate the work of the technically and creatively skilled people who do the heavy lifting. We need managers, not because people need a boss, but because people need someone to resolve the issues that are stopping them from doing their work. Managers aren't ball carriers. They're running interference for the ball carriers. In the world of minimally invasive management, managers have three primary jobs: they need to
hire, they need to
develop and serve their people, and they need to
fire. But most of the time, managers need to get out of the way and let people do their work.
