On a lighter note....

Peeps at Fraters Libertas uncovers some new management buzzwords; "delayering" and "unsiloing." While it is certainly regrettable that management always needs a new set of buzzwords every 3-5 years, these are remarkable for the fact that they deal with the problems inherent in management.

"Delayering" means to remove unneeded layers of management, and "unsiloing" means to remove the barriers between working groups. While I'm not certain that we'll be seeing VPs walking their golf partners and fraternity brothers out the door anytime soon, it's refreshing to at least see that at least some know they're part of the problem.
